- Title
Westminster Challenged, Westminster Confirmed: Which Way Caribbean Constitutional Reform?
- Authors
Sutton, Paul K.
- Abstract
The lecture explores why there has been so much activity associated with constitution reform in the Commonwealth Caribbean but so little change. It begins with a brief consideration of the reform experience and the nature of the Westminster model in the region and then goes on to identify three aspects which collectively begin to explain the lack of change: the distinctive political culture, the fact of small size and the practice of constitutional reform. It ends by considering the future of reform concluding that the Westminster model will remain dominant in the region unless or until there is a move toward federation.
