THE AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL LETTERS TO THE EDITORS GRACE LINE The Foreign Service Exams Announces Department of State, To THE EDITORS, THE AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL: After reading in your March issue the very inter¬ esting letter by Mr. Conrad on the Foreign Service Examinations, and also the one by Mr. Meadows which touches on the same subject, I thought you might like to hear from a person whose experience was almost the opposite from Mr. Conrad’s. Most of my comments are in connection with points raised in these letters. After two years’ service as a Departmental Officer I took the examination given in November, 1945.

  • Strengthening Environmental Diplomacy in the Caribbean
    CASE STUDY Fulfilling the promise: Strengthening environmental diplomacy in the Caribbean April 2015 Cletus Springer Summary This paper examines the circumstances that catalysed and sustained the participation of the Caribbean in the international sustainable development process. The focus of the paper is on the period between 1962 - following the collapse of the Federation and the emergence of independent Caribbean states - and 1994, when the first Global Conference on the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States was held in Bridgetown, Barbados. The role of the Regional Task Force on Environment and Development in helping to secure what is widely regarded as the crowning achievement of the region’s fledging environmental diplomacy is also examined. Background The history of the Caribbean’s participation in global environment and development issues is a fairly recent one. This is in part due to the fact that until 1962, when Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago gained Independent status, all Caribbean countries were either colonies of Great Britain, or members of the West Indies Federation (1958-1962). The Caribbean did not have a voice in the historic UN Conferences on the Law of the Sea in Geneva in 1958 and 1960, which accentuated the need for a new and generally acceptable Convention on the law of the sea. However, they were already members of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), when Resolution 2749 (XXV) was adopted on 17 December 1970 which declared inter alia, “…that the area of the seabed and ocean floor and the subsoil

The loud drumming and singing, “wild” dancing, and “extravagant” costumes topped with horned ani- mal masks and towering headdresses overloaded the senses of these white onlookers, and suggested to them something inscrutably and dangerously African, even when certain European elements could be recognized within the unfamiliar mix. Unlike the pre-Lenten Catholic carnivals that were appropri- ated and refashioned by Africans in several parts of the Americas, this was a festival created by the enslaved themselves. Over time it was accepted by the ruling whites, who came to view it as a necessary evil – a kind of safety valve through which the simmering tensions on slave plantations could be periodi- 1.

IV. THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE THE CARIBBEAN COMMISSION Note.—An Anglo-American Caribbean Commission was established on an informal basis on 9 March 1942, with a view to improving the economic and social development of the region.

The secretariat of the Commission has its head- quarters at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad.

  • Decolonising the Caribbean Dutch Policies in a Comparative Perspective
    Gert Oostindie & Amsterdam University Press Gert Oostindie & Inge Klinkers Inge Klinkers Much has been written on the post-war decolonisation in the Caribbean, but rarely from a truly comparative Decolonising perspective, and seldom with serious attention to the former Dutch colonies of Suriname, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The present study bridges both the gaps. In their analysis of Dutch decolonisation policies since the 1940s, the authors discuss not only political processes, but also development aid, the Dutch Caribbean Caribbean exodus to the metropolis and cultural an- tagonisms. A balance is drawn both of the costs and benefits of independence in the Caribbean and of the Decolonising the Caribbean Dutch Policies in a outlines and results of the policies pursued in the non- sovereign Caribbean by France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Comparative Perspective Gert Oostindie is director of the kitlv/Royal Nether- lands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Stud- ies and holds a chair in Caribbean Studies at Utrecht University. Inge Klinkers successfully defended her PhD thesis on Caribbean decolonisation policies at Utrecht University and is now an editor for various academic presses. In 2001, Oostindie and Klinkers published the three-volume study, Knellende Koninkrijksbanden. Het Nederlandse dekolonisatiebeleid in de Caraïben, 1940-2000 and the abridged version Het Koninkrijk in de Caraïben, 1940-2000, both with Amsterdam University Press. www.aup.nl Amsterdam University Press Decolonising the Caribbean Decolonising the Caribbean Dutch Policies in a Comparative Perspective Gert Oostindie & Inge Klinkers Amsterdam University Press Cover map: the borders between the various countries in the Guyanas are disputed.The present map does not express the judgement of all countries involved, nor of the authors.

  • Read More of the CTO History
    THE YEAR WAS 1951: The CTO Story. By Richard S. Kahn and Johnson JohnRose The year was 1951. Tourism was already being seen as having a major role to play in the economic development of Caribbean countries, but there was no organised body to focus the visitor’s thinking on the entire region as a single destination. However, that was about to change as a group of concerned individuals gathered in Antigua to formulate a marketing plan and create a budget to promote the Caribbean as a region. They established the Caribbean Travel Association (CTA) with offices in St. John’s, Antigua. CTA was given an annual budget of US$200, 000 and a mandate to promote the Caribbean as the world’s leading warm weather destination. CTA even then was unique, comprising member states from the four language groups – Dutch, English, French and Spanish – and having a public and private sector directorate. Now, 50 years later, the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) stands as the successor and benefactor of those early years and the Caribbean proudly proclaims success as truly the world’s leading warm weather destination. The seeds for CTO’s creation were really sown in the 1940s. This was war time and the strategic importance of the Caribbean Sea in World War II was immense. Both the British and American governments had very important military bases scattered throughout various islands. On August 14, 1941 an historic meeting took place in the mid-Atlantic, on American and British warships, between US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

FRANKLIN FRAZIER AND ERIC WILLIAMS HOWARD UNIVERSITY PRESS WASHINGTON, D. C. 1944 PREFACE Three years ago the Division of the Social Sciences spon­ sored a conference on the topic, "The Negro in the Americas,” the published proceedings of which were widely circulated and well received. This year the Division selected as the theme of its annual institute, "The Economic Future of the Caribbean.” In presenting this topic as a part of the University’s contri­ bution to the general problems of the American community and the larger world community, the Division was influenced by two facts: (a ) the proximity of the Caribbean makes the area a subject of general interest to the United States; (b ) its predominantly Negro or Negroid population gives it a special interest for the Negro minority of the United States.
