  • Jodi-Ann K. Stephenson Ciarb Caribbean Branch 1
    Jodi-Ann K. Stephenson CIArb Caribbean Branch Access as an Impediment to Diversification: the Caribbean Young Professional Experience Diversity in international arbitration is vital to the process’ efficacy, sustainability and legitimacy. Including perspectives emanating from different legal traditions, experience levels, nationalities, cultures and regions enhances the quality of a tribunal’s reasoning and decision-making process. Furthermore, greater diversity in arbitral tribunals will diminish criticisms regarding lack of impartiality and the view that decisions are made by an ‘old boys’ club’ controlled by American and European institutions.1 Creating diversity involves implementing initiatives that change the gender composition of arbitration tribunals, as well as taking meaningful steps which narrow age, race and cultural disparities. The lack of diversity in international arbitration is not limited to underrepresentation of Caribbean nationals on tribunals, but extends to the paucity of Caribbean international arbitration advocates, in particular young practitioners. From the perspective of a young, Jamaican female professional living in Saint Lucia, a small island with a hybrid legal system of English common law and French civil law, this presentation aims to explore the challenges faced by young Caribbean practitioners who seek to enter the international arbitration field, highlight some of the strides that have been made in the region and suggest further steps to build on these achievements, so as to enable young Caribbean nationals to take a greater role in the arbitration community and thereby improve diversity in international arbitration. Challenges faced by young Caribbean professionals a. Fear/misconceptions of the unknown – litigation is the traditional mode of dispute resolution in the Caribbean.

  • A Content Analysis of Newspaper Food and Beverage Advertising in Jamaica
    Local and Standardized Strategies: A Content Analysis of Newspaper Food and Beverage Advertising in Jamaica Globalization has led to changes in diets and advertising linked to audience preferences. This study examines local and global brand food and beverage advertising in Jamaican newspapers. Content analysis of 440 advertisements revealed the predominance of global fast food brands, often including soda. Healthier foods were found in 1 in 10 ads. Information cues included taste, quality, and price, yet 14% of ads featured only a product image/ logo. Advertisements reflected standardized and local strategies.
