Fundamentals of Caribbean Constitutional Law
Fundamentals of Caribbean Constitutional Law is a collaboratiive effort between UWI academics on two campuses, Mona and St Augustine, and a senior regional judge. It is designed to serve multiple audiences with a need for an organised framework for thinking about Caribbean constitutional law, and a text that makes sense of the jurisprudence that has developed over decades in an evolving subject, including undergraduate and graduate students studying public law, ‘practitioners’ of law including lawyers and judges, and interdisciplinary students and scholars of politics, government and history.
In Fundamentals the three authors, Tracy Robinson (Mona), Arif Bulkan (St. Augustine) and Adrian Saunders (Judge, Caribbean Court of Justice), trace the development of constitutional law in this region, and discuss the foundational concepts associated with Caribbean constitutional law through analysis of contemporary debates and cases in the Caribbean. The book also identifies the key features of the constitutions in the now twelve independent states and six overseas territories in the Anglophone Caribbean, and the different systems of governance they establish.
It has been taken for granted that Caribbean constitutions provide for democratic institutions, characterised by separation of powers, respect for the rule of law, strong protection of judicial independence, and guaranteed fundamental rights and freedoms.
