CARIBBEAN POLITICS and SOCIETY Caribbean Integration Rationale for Integration. The Caribbean remains fragmented both economically and politically as a result of competition and conflict among the European powers. Fragmentation is in part the product of a long history as separate colonies of a metropolitan power or powers. It is also in part the psychological effects on people of separation by sea.

party lists with a 5% electoral threshold with the whole country as a single constituency. The other seats are elected in single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post system. In the Russian Federal Assembly, the upper house is the Federation Council. The analogy is the United States Senate. There are 170 members, who are called senators, in The Council. Each of the 85 federal subjects of Russia has two senators who are in the Council. One of them is elected by the provincial legislature

Voss shows how and why a successful labor movement never gained political strength as it did in England and France. The United States had similarities with its labor movements with its European counterparts. However, it was mainly because of the failure by the Knights of Labor that caused the American labor movement to go a different route.

have a national identity except for the ANZAC myth. To begin to understand why it is that the ANZAC myth continues to resonate in Australia so strongly one must understand its foundations. Australia in 1915 was a fairly new country, it became a federation on the 1st of January 1901. Its population was approximately 5 million and was still a part of the Commonwealth. Australia held the image that it was a nation filled with individuals who lived in a working class society. World War I occurred in

Introduction This raises several sub-questions. Who will protect the authors’ rights in the industry? Will they still be able to earn a living with their writing if publishers and agents are no longer the key players of the book industry? Who will provide a certain control in the quality of the publications? In this paper I intend first to explain the traditional ways of business transactions in the book industry as well as the traditional types and tasks of the industry’s intermediaries and gatekeepers

Fostered off the shared foundation for peace and unity, key integration
