2008年10月加勒比和欧洲联盟之间签署的《经济伙伴关系协定》一直是备受争议的问题。在加勒比地区，谈判--从而支持--环境保护局的官员和政治家与使其受到严厉批评的更广泛的学术界和民间社会之间存在着明显的分歧。本文件详细审查了这些辩论，并将其置于加勒比发展备选办法的更广泛的知识和实践全景中。具体来说，它讨论了如何在该地区的发展已经在理论和实践的地形已显着缩小自20世纪80年代以来，与EPA是这种不断发展的趋势的最新表现。因此，本文超越了对经济伙伴关系协定短期政治的分析，阐明了政策界和学术界对经济伙伴关系协定分歧的更深层次的结构性解释，以及该协定对当代加勒比发展的更广泛影响。
The Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) signed in October 2008 between the Caribbean and the European Union has been the subject of much controversy. There has been a marked split within the Caribbean between the officials and politicians who negotiated — and thus championed — the EPA and the wider academic and civil society community that subjected it to heavy criticism. The paper examines these debates in detail and situates them within the broader intellectual and practical panorama of Caribbean development alternatives. Specifically, it discusses how the terrain upon which development has been both theorised and practised in the region has narrowed significantly since the 1980s, with the EPA being the latest manifestation of this evolving trend. The paper consequently goes beyond an analysis of the short-term politics of the EPA to elucidate the deeper, structural explanations for the divisions over the EPA between the policy and academic communities and the wider implications of the Agreement for contemporary Caribbean development.
