| contents | The UK caribbean overseas territories, new labour, and the strengthening of metropolitan control Peter Clegg Estudios Culturales Crown control modernization good governance Overseas Territories constitutional reform The article analyses the complex and ever-evolving relationship between Britain and its Overseas Territories in the Caribbean. Links between Britain and its Territories have been shaped and determined by particular historical, constitutional, political and economic trends. For many years the relationship between the Territories and the UK was rather ad hoc-a situation that can be traced back to the compromises, fudges and deals characteristic of "pragmatic" British colonial administration. More recently, however, there have been attempts by the Labour government in Britain to overcome the informal nature of the relationship and to develop a new partnership based on mutual obligations and responsibilities. The article describes the applications of this more pro-active and coherent level of oversight and highlights how the principle of more forceful metropolitan control has taken hold. The article asserts that the Territories are now much more heavily integrated into the international system, having adopted either willingly or unwillingly a number of changes to their political, economic and social structures. The effect has been a convergence of policy and approach across the Territories, even though they retain their distinctive constitutional arrangements. 2006 artículo científico 0008-6533 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=39211247005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=392 Caribbean Studies application/pdf Universidad de Puerto Rico Caribbean Studies (Puerto Rico) Num.1 Vol.34 |
