"The Oxford Handbook of Caribbean Constitutions offers a detailed and analytical view
of the constitutions of the Caribbean region, examining the constitutional development
of its diverse countries. The Handbook explains the features of the region's constitutions
and examines themes emerging from the Caribbean's experience with constitutional interpretation
and reform.0Part I, 'Caribbean Constitutions in the World', highlights what is distinctive
about the constitutions of the Caribbean. Part II covers the constitutions of the
Caribbean in detail, offering a rich analysis of the constitutional history, design,
controversies, and future challenges in each country or group of countries. Each chapter
in this section addresses topics such as the impact of key historical and political
events on the constitutional landscape for the jurisdiction, a systematic account
of the interaction between the legislature and the executive, the civil service, the
electoral system,0and the independence of the judiciary.0Part III addresses fundamental
rights debates and developments in the region, including the death penalty and socio-economic
rights. Finally, Part IV features critical reflections on the challenges and prospects
for the region, including the work of the Caribbean Court of Justice and the future
of constitutional reform.0This is the first book of its kind, bringing together in
a single volume a comprehensive review of the constitutional development of the entire
Caribbean region, from the Bahamas in the north to Guyana and Suriname in South America,
and all the islands in between. While written in English, the book embraces the linguistic
and cultural diversity of the region, and covers the Anglophone Caribbean as well
as the Spanish-, French-, and Dutch-speaking Caribbean countries"--Provided by the
