Our mission is to develop trade capacity and create innovative trade solutions for the Caribbean region.

The SRC was named after Sir Shridath Ramphal in recognition of this distinguished Caribbean statesman’s critical role in shaping the Caribbean’s trade and economic development policies during the early days of independence for the region.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Sir Shridath Ramphal, the esteemed namesake of our Shridath Ramphal Centre for International Trade Law, Policy, and Services at the Cave Hill Campus, UWI. His life and work have continuously inspired and guided our efforts across all three pillars of our mission: teaching, research, and advocacy.

The Board, Management, and Staff of the SRC extend our deepest condolences to Sir Shridath’s family. We will come together to determine a fitting way to honour and celebrate the life and legacy of this remarkable Caribbean trade professional whose influence spanned the globe.

Who We Are

Welcome to the Shridath Ramphal Centre for International Trade Law, Policy and Services (SRC). The SRC is the home of the UWI Flagship Program, the Masters in International Trade Policy (MITP). Take some time to review the information on these pages and we invite you to join us as we seek to become a major force within the University aligned to the vision of our society.

Our History

The origins of today’s Shridath Ramphal Centre for International Trade Law, Policy and Services (SRC) lie in the Centre for International Services (CIS). The CIS was set up in 1999 under the Principal’s Office of the Cave Hill Campus to signal the preparedness of the University of the West Indies (UWI) to respond to the inherent challenges and opportunities for Caribbean countries resulting from the ongoing changes in the world economy. The CIS was mandated to create a forum for the development of the Caribbean services sector through innovation, consultancy, specialized research, advocacy and partnerships.
