  • Race, Color, and Nationalism in Aruban and Curaçaoan Political Identities
    Thamyris/Intersecting No. 27 (2014) 117–132 Race, Color, and Nationalism in Aruban and Curaçaoan Political Identities Michael Orlando Sharpe This chapter focuses on the development and instrumentalization of race and color based Aruban and Curaçaoan nationalisms within processes of decolonization and reconstitution in the context of Dutch sovereignty and Dutch liberal democracy. I argue this instrumentalization of race and color as markers of national identity takes place within an overall framework of white supremacy. The following will describe the current political construction of the Dutch Kingdom and examine Aruban and Curaçaoan national myths of origin along with a brief history of Dutch colonialism and slavery including the 20th century relevance of oil refinement on these islands. Next, there will a discussion of the significance of the 1954 Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands or Statuut and the key role of Curaçao’s labor unrest of 30 May 1969 or “Trinta de Mei” in the development and deployment of racially and color based Aruban and Curaçaoan nationalisms as “invented traditions” and “social engineer- ing.” The chapter will conclude with an examination of the ways in which these notions of race and racism are reified in the Netherlands today. This discussion centers on developments around the Netherlands Antilles prior to its dissolution on 10 October 2010. Before 10/10/10, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was made up of the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, and Aruba. The Netherlands Antilles was a federation of the five island states of Curaçao (admin- istrative capital), Bonaire, Saba, St. Eustatius, and St. Maarten. The current Dutch Kingdom consists of the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao, and St.

  • Bahamas Leaks
    At a glance Plenary – 1 October 2016 'Bahamas leaks' in a nutshell On 21 September 2016, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) published information on more than 175 000 companies, trusts and foundations registered in the Bahamas. The published data includes the names of directors and some owners of these entities. As with the 'Panama papers', these leaks may shine new light on the practices, policies and measures used by taxpayers and tax jurisdictions – as well as politicians, businesspeople and criminals – which render revenues and tax bases opaque, thus reducing tax bills and resulting in lost revenue for countries. What are the Bahamas leaks? The 'Bahamas leaks' cover more than 35 years of information on companies, trusts and foundations registered in the Bahamas between 1990 and the beginning of 2016, and expose the offshore links of politicians, businesspeople, financiers and fraudsters. First received by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, the ICIJ and other media partners have made the information available to the public in a publicly searchable database. Unlike the Panama Papers scandal, where files had been leaked from a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca, the Bahamas leaks information is based on 1.3 million files from the corporate registry of the Bahamas. Discussing their publication, ICIJ’s director Gerard Ryle said, 'We believe this kind of basic information, the names of people who are linked to what companies, is something that should be openly available – just as the former Prime Minister David Cameron himself once indicated. We are publishing this information as a public service.' To own or direct offshore companies is not illegal in general, and they may be set up for legitimate business reasons.

Since its independence, many countries in the region have heavily depended on agriculture exports to industrialized states to support their economies. This has led to political theorists to label Latin America as an area full of “periphery” countries that are exploited for resources by “core countries. Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua were not the exception. In recent years, however, a noticeable difference between the economies of the countries has helped Costa Rica and Panama become more successful than Nicaragua, on the basis of GDP, GNI, and other similar measures.

  • Guardian July 14 2016 PANAMA MISSION 2016: LAYING the FOUNDATIONS for SUCCESS There Are Many Complex Factors That Inform a Busi
    Guardian July 14 2016 PANAMA MISSION 2016: LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS FOR SUCCESS There are many complex factors that inform a business’ decision to expand its trading activities into new markets: the investment climate, the price and availability of goods, the transportation and shipment routes to name a few. However, in trying to understand the critical factors for successful engagement in any market, there needs to be a holistic understanding of all of the key players and characteristics of that market. Through the efforts of its Trade Missions, the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce (T&T Chamber) equips potential investors and exporters of goods and services alike with the tools for successful market penetration. It was no different for the Panamanian Market. The Trade Mission to Panama June 8 to 12, 2016 was another initiative of the T&T Chamber geared towards guiding participants in the exploration of new opportunities in that market. The composition of the Mission included companies from primarily construction and related services, fire protective services, automotive services, marketing and advertising and wholesaler-retailers. The three-day Mission visit offered participants with a snapshot view of the Panamanian Market and focused on securing a foothold into new and exciting business opportunities that lay within. One key factor which contributed to the success of this mission was the increased opportunities for networking with key players of Panama's business community. This provided invaluable insights into their role in facilitating external trade and investment in that market. During this Mission, the delegation met with the Panamanian Chamber of Industry, Commerce and Agriculture, the Investment Promotion Agency of Panama (PROINVEX) and the General Manager of the Colon Free-Zone.
