This conference seeks to address the urgent need for an expanded and updated analysis of the experience of Westminster in the Caribbean. It will consider how the political model inherited from Britain has been transformed within the conditions of the Caribbean, its impact on Caribbean democracy, and the challenges the model has faced over the period of independence.
This event is organised with the kind support of AHRC. Attendance is free of charge but registration is required<http://westminster-in-caribbean.eventbrite.co.uk>.
