(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana) The story of Caribbean Integration captures the attention of many, as we reflect at this time on the road travelled, the milestones achieved and the opportunities missed. Journalists and social pundits act as conduits for sometimes emotive discussion as we pursue the search for solutions for survival and prosperity as a Caribbean Community. Such discourse usually harks back to the failed West Indies Federation and is punctuated with nostalgia by the early dreams for a united Caribbean Nation.
