The Independence Constitutions of the Commonwealth Caribbean are colonial in origin and yet they are the basis of the legal systems and political identity of the region. The agitation for constitutional reform in the Commonwealth Caribbean has intensified over the past ten years and focuses on the remaining presence of the Crown and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Caribbean Constitutional Reform: Rethinking the West Indian Polity analyses the development of the Caribbean jurisprudence and the political identity of the region. It also looks at the background to independence and addresses some of the fundamental issues of commonwealth constitutional reform. Democratic self-governance, including the type of legislative and political systems of democracy and the question of the establishment of a Caribbean Court of Appeal are some of the issues addressed. This title answers the need for a book on legal theory in the Commonwealth Caribbean.
