Agricultural Policy And Collective Self-reliance In The Caribbean (WESTVIEW SPECIAL STUDIES ON LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN)

W. Andrew Axline. Includes Index. Bibliography: P. 109-125. Focusing on the process of agricultural policy-making within the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM), provides a context for understanding the evolving theory of regional integration among developing countries. Traces the progress of Caribbean integration from the mid-1960s to the present. Describes the move away from a market- oriented laissez-faire approach to agriculture and the shift toward sectoral programming. Examines the role of other regional organisations. Suggests that the future direction of regional co- operation among developing countries will be towards more intensive integration, but on a less extensive scale
