Abstract

This paper seeks to accomplish the following objectives: 1) to identify the current and latent conflicts that affect CARICOM countries; 2) to examine the role and strategies of CARICOM in the area of conflict resolution; 3) and to explain why CARICOM has been largely unsuccessful in bringing about long-term solutions to conflicts within member countries, among member countries, and between members and non-members. The central argument is that CARICOM'S political culture is the most serious impediment to its effectiveness in resolving conflicts. Subsidiary arguments relate to the problems posed by an increasingly interventionist CARICOM currently organisationally and operationally ill equipped to play the role of mediator – its preferred mode of intervention. Remedial adjustments are proposed.
