This report was prepared for the Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum, organized by the Social Science Research Counsil in January 2011. Constitutional laws of countries in the English-speaking Caribbean (ESC) have changed very little, at least in relative terms, since the independence of these countries. Nevertheless, the institutional and political environment of the ESC presents some unique challenges to constitutional reform in the contemporary era. This paper examines the constitutional trajectory of these countries in comparative perspective and anticipates the prospects and challenges of constitutional reform in the region.
