In the last week, the UN's permanent tribunal granted both countries access to the disputed area, but it was Guyana that walked away with the lion's share of the award. The body gave Caricom's largest member state 12,800 square miles to Suriname's 6,900, including the area where the Canadian rig was drilling 'fin* oil and gas. At least three other major problems involving Caricom member states remain unresolved, one in which Venezuela claims two-thirds of Guyana, another with Belize and the Central American nation of Guatemala, and a third in which a group of Eastern Caribbean states are feuding with Venezuela for a 200-mile economic zone. This disagreement arose because Venezuela lays claim to a sandbank near Dominica and Antigua. If a zone is to be earmarked, then the area would exten...

The Grenadian leader said the eastern Caribbean region as a sub-group of CARICOM already shared many interests as expressed in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. He argues that "narrow political interests" should not prevent countries from deepening the integration movement, adding that it made sense for States to pool their resources in advancing the development of the region.

This article examines the macroeconomic factors influencing the flow of remittances to selected English-speaking Caribbean countries. A balanced two way fixed effects (FE) model, a random effects (RE) model and the adjusted fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) model (designed to correct biases in OLS)are employed in estimating a relationship between per capita remittances and selected macroeconomic variables. This article also examines the time series properties of the data within a panel unit root and cointegration framework and in this respect, adds an important new dimension to the time series models on remittances by removing the possibility of a spurious relationship (Pedroni 1995,1997, 2000). The results strongly suggest that there is cointegration among the variables, an...

After looping into the Atlantic and back into the Gulf of Mexico following its initial strike on the Alabama-Florida coast as a hurricane last week, Tropical Storm Ivan washed ashore near the Texas-Louisiana line Thursday night, bringing heavy rain to both sides of the border.
