    CARIBBEAN INSIGHT The editorially independent publication of The Caribbean Council 3 February 2014 Volume 37, Number 5 Political discontent grows over Barbados’ economy Divisions within Barbados’ ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) over economic policy, the island’s ailing economy, and the way in which government and the country is being run, threaten to cause political turmoil. Speaking to journalists on 29 January, the Island’s Agriculture Minister, Dr David Estwick, said that he can no “longer sit silent” on whether the island’s present economic path is the right or wrong one or the path to be pursued. Dr Eastwick said, “this is not the time to be pig headed or this is not the time to close off all options. This is the time for innovation, this is the time for creativity and this is the time that every single option must be evaluated clinically and surgically in the interest of Barbados.” He said he could also not sit by “when this debate is raging on and when the outcome of any action may seriously undermine the stability of this country”. Dr Estwick, who is a former finance minister, said that he is uneasy about the direction of the island’s economy and is promising to make public his position in the coming weeks when he will make a full statement. “I am going to make my statement very, very soon on what my position is,” he told reporters, adding, “I was a man before I got into politics, and I can stay one if I am out of it.

  • ALBA Expands Its Allies in the Caribbean
    ALBA expands its allies in the Caribbean By Kevin Edmonds, published on the author’s blog on NACLA, The Other Side of Paradise, NACLA, February 16, 2012 Part one The weekend of February 4 and 5, 2012 saw the Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas (ALBA) convene its 11th summit in Caracas, Venezuela. ALBA began as an alternative vision to the reckless neoliberal agenda promoted by Washington throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. In 2004, Venezuela and Cuba sought to establish a regional alliance which would be committed to an agenda of poverty eradication, sustainable development and social justice founded upon the values of co-operation, equality, and solidarity. The regional integration promoted by ALBA importantly stresses policy flexibility, fair trade, and recognition of the unique circumstances faced by the small Caribbean economies. As many expected, the weekend summit contained the standard denunciations of American imperialism and the need for deeper economic integration but surprisingly ended with St. Lucia and Suriname expressing their desire for full membership in the organization and Haiti joining ranks as a permanent observer. While St. Lucia and Suriname cannot fully join the organization without following the necessary political processes in their respective countries, the two nations were admitted to the meeting as “special guest members”— a prior step to their full entry. St. Lucia, Suriname and Haiti would join their CARICOM neighbours Dominica, who joined the regional organization in 2008, and St. Vincent and
