It evaluates howEU-CARICOM relations have fostered trade, security and other developmentmeasures, reflecting on the past, future and present of the Caribbean states thatare active in the EU-CARICOM framework.Providing case studies on key issues such as immigration, tax and energy, itexamines the impact that the EU-CARICOM has on the slave trade and thedeportation of millions of people. Such bitter experiences still indirectly shapeculture, hopes and the economic framework of possibilities today; therefore, thefocus of the volume is on the issues which the constant stream of globalisationcreates.

In all new agreements and negotiations, the will toaccept the Sustainable Development Goals and thus to make inequality, climatechange and other goals of the SDGs the basis of an order that puts peopleat the centre, are evaluated, and the global agenda 2030 and its impact onEU-CARICOM.Overall, it highlights how the EU and CARICOM are representations formultilateralism and serve as models that provide the basis for many successfulinitiatives and agreements.
