Les relations entre les départements français d’Amérique et les Caraïbes : une histoire en construction
Éric Nabajoth
Initially, decentralisation together with the development of identity claims, provoked
a progressive rediscovery of the Caribbean area; strategies and cooperation instruments
were devised which operated within a framework of competing models and in particular
brought about the creation of different sets of logic opposing the state against certain
local actors of the FDA. At the dawn of the 1990s, marked by the development of
globalisation, ideological conflicts are fading. In a Caribbean space which is enjoying a
full phase of deconstruction/reconstruction, the approach of the FDA towards their
environment is being revised, all the more so given that the simultaneous evolution of the
territories’institutions and competences. This initiative of regional integration must,
nevertheless, pursue a clear strategy in order to counter the proliferation of current
measures.
