A Region among States

More about the book

The book explores the complexities of postcolonial Caribbean identity and judicial independence, particularly through the lens of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ). Lee Cabatingan, an intern at the CCJ, provides an insider's view of the Court's efforts to establish its relevance and legitimacy within the region, contrasting it with the enduring influence of the British Privy Council. By examining themes such as myth, territory, and language, Cabatingan highlights the CCJ's role in fostering regional unity and its challenges in gaining popular support as an alternative to traditional sovereign state structures.
