Following a compelling opening panel, the SRC returns with Small States, Strategic Bargaining and Selective Resistance: Integration in an Age of Militarisation and Rivalry, the second instalment of the Caribbean Crucible: Geopolitics, Security and External Power in a Contested Basin Series. Join us on Monday, 2nd March 2026, 5:00 – 7:00 PM (AST) in person at the Shridath Ramphal Centre, Ground Floor, Owen Arthur CARICOM Research Complex, UWI Cave Hill Campus, St. Michael, Barbados, or virtually by registering here.
Our panel will tackle some of the most pressing questions facing the region today:
- How do Caribbean states navigate and respond to growing militarisation?
- What strategies define contemporary Caribbean diplomacy and the pursuit of sovereignty?
- What does the future Caribbean Security Order look like?
- Can regional integration survive intensifying great-power rivalry?
- Does security cooperation within CARICOM strengthen or strain regionalism?
