Candidates are reminded that the examiners shall take into account the proper use of the
English Language in determining the mark for each response.
Answer TUREE questions.
1. To the extent that the Plantation School is or has been helpful in studying Caribbean
political systems, it has been so because ofits emphasis on the legacies ofPlantation
political culture. How true is this and how useful does its propositions remain as guides
for studying contemporary Caribbean political systems considering recent claims of a
New Political Culture?
2. How true is it to say that the Westminster-Adapted model has served well as a
transitional model, being an advance on what existed before, but because ofits
own limitations, an obstacle to what should exist today? Can the model transcend
its present limitations?
3. Would you say that new ideas ofdemocracy and better fonnulae for governance,
current in the Caribbean, constitute a new paradigm of Caribbean politics? How
radical a departure are they from the kind of democracy and governance that is
associated with the Westminster-Whitehall system?
4. To what extent can one identify a CARJCOM political system from the Rose Hall
Declaration 2003 and other landmark agreements? How do these past and future
trends propose to address concerns with unity and unification under integrated
development?
5. The 2l century calls for new theories and research on Caribbean political systems.
What kinds of approaches do scholars need to fill the research and theoretical gaps
that exist in the Caribbean if one is to distinguish properly between what is old and
what is new about Caribbean political systems?

Language in determining the mark for each response.
Answer THREE questions

No more than one from any section.
Section 1
1. Explain the relationship of nation and state building to democracy and governance in Caribbean
political systems that are at different levels of development, subject to different socio-economic
conditions and shaped by different histories. Must the relationship be sequential or holistic?
2. What theoretical contribution has the Anglo-Governance perspective made to the study of
Westntjter political systems and what further contribution can Caribbean scholarship make to the
Anglo-Governance perspective?
2
63A
Section 2
3. "Many of the institutions which we inherited at the time of independence, and which were
designed for different conditions, different times, and different circumstances, are still being used,
albeit less efficiently, by our current administration. It should not be surprising to learn, therefore,
that many of them act as a brake on our development", Guyana National Development Strategy,
-
2000. Respond to this in light of more recent attempts at ‘participatory and inclusive governance’
in Guyana.
4. Consider the problems of ethnicity in state governance in Trinidad and Tobago, especially against
claims and evidence of political discrimination. Discuss the idea of ‘representative bureaucracy’
and the creation ofthe Equal Opportunity Commission 2000 in this regard.
Section 3
5. Buss and Gardner 2006 say, "Haiti is and has been among the worst governed and most
undemocratic states. The international donor community classifies Haiti as a fragile state-the
Government cannot or will not deliver core functions to the majority of its people, especially the
poor. Haiti is also a post-conflict state-one emerging from a coup d’etat and civil war. Others
have characterized Haiti as a nightmare, with a state variously described as predator, collapsed,
failed, failing, parasitic, kieptocratic, phantom, virtual, pariah, and at best, patrimonial".
What then should the priorities of democratic governance be for a fragile state like Haiti if the
country is to avoid once again becoming a failed state?
6. The Cuban Research Institute speaks of governance "within accepted traditions and institutional
frameworks, [where] interests are articulated by different sectors of society, decisions are taken,
and decision-makers are held to account" 2005. Is such a conception legitimate for a
revolutionary socialist system like that in Cuba when contrasted to the conception held by the
World Bank?
Section 4
7. The National Strategic Plan of Barbados, 2005-2025, conceives of ‘new governance for new times’
in order to make Barbados into a fully developed society. What is the importance of social capital
and social partnership for governance in this vision?
8, A study submitted to the Human Resource Council of the Jamaican Cabinet identified a critical
problem of governance as being, ‘lack of a culture of outcome orientation, evaluation and
responsiveness to users of the public service’. Consider this in relation to Jamaica’s post-colonial
state building and the idea of the ‘service state’ based on better accountability, transparency and
performance in government and politics.

Section A: Theories and Concepts
I. In the hook, Governance in the Caribbean Eds. Ryan and Bissessar, 2002, a number of Caribbeai
scholars offered analyses of "the problem" and preseriptious for the problcms of governance. Asses
their views and say how relevant they remain in light of We crises facing the governrncnis of thi
region today.
2. Scholars of development debate the proper place and sequence of nation-building. democracy
building, peace-building, and state-building, usually from the perspcclive of the international done
community. Do the crises of governance suggest that a particular sequence is to be recommended c
should all of these be complementary somehow?

Section B: Case Studies
3. Two revolutionary states Haiti and Cuba are very differently positioned to manage the crises of
- -
human, economic and political development. What issues of state-society organisation make this
so? Is it that Cuba is structured for crisis management while Haiti is not?
4. Compare any two of the three English-speaking Caribbean states Jamaica, Guyana, Trinidad and
-
Tobago and say whether the problem of governance is that of the Westminster system or whether it
-
is the system of governance that is unprepared for meeting crises of poverty, energy, violence,
HI V/AIDS, and climate change.
Sec/lw: C: Regionalism
5. CARICOM aspires to regional cooperation but no other time has exposed the need for regional
Cooperation and the inadequacy of CARICOM’s response than now. Is this because regionalism was
not built for the crises that the region now faces? How could issues of sovereignty, supranationality,
and inter-governmentalism explain this?
6. The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States and Trinidad and Tobago The Maiming Initiative
appear to be moving in the direction of closer political unity. Yet, the capacity for reducing
vulnerability and dependency of such small states is still limited, especially without an explicit
model of crisis governance. Comment.
