Hunttey, Earl
Union of East Caribbean states: thoughts on a form - Voice Publishing Company Castries 1990 - 33 p.
Presents two models of a form of political union for the islands states of the Eastern Caribbean in addition to a brief overview on classical forms of political union and their relevance to the Eastern Caribbean. In the collective presidency model, each Head of Government automatically becomes a member of the Federal Executive Council which would be a collective presidency. The second model comprises a President, elected by the Lower House of the Regional Assembly, with Heads of Government forming a Council of Governor. The author proposes these models against what he terms "these special circumstances" where the driving force to integration has been a collective decision-making system, the newly achieved independence of states concerned and the traditional insularity among the islands.
