The Caribbean Community
Global Organizations Set

In 1973, the Caribbean Community came into effect. With 15 full members and five associate members, CARICOM was first organized to provide a continued economic linkage between the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, though it now includes Suriname and Haiti. Its goals include providing “dynamic leadership and service, in partnership with Community institutions and groups, towards the attainment of a viable, internationally competitive and sustainable Community, with improved quality of life for all.” CARICOM, which involves a free-trade area/single market, strives to create new bilateral free-trade agreements and has introduced a common passport that makes regional and international travel easier for its citizens.

About the Series: The fully illustrated Global Organizations series focuses on the world's top governing bodies, giving complete coverage to the organizations that make important economic, political, and social decisions. Enhanced by full-color photographs, maps, and graphs, as well as informative sidebars, each book vividly describes an institution's conception, structure, and mission. Titles in this series examine the economic, political, geographical, and historical framework of each organization, using an interdisciplinary approach. Readers will learn how globalization and interconnectedness are managed through political institutions and processes, as well as direct citizen action and consumer behavior. Student researchers will appreciate the invaluable reference features, such as a chronology, bibliography, and further reading section for each organization.
