Social Movements Confront Neoliberalism: Reflections on a Caribbean Experience
[Article]
/ Norman Girvan
7731-1474
In 2008 15 Caribbean countries signed an ‘Economic Partnership Agreement’ (EPA) with the European Union providing for liberalisation of trade and investment between the two regions and the binding of investor-friendly government policies. The agreement occasioned much controversy and was signed over the protests of many sectors of civil society. This article discusses the controversy from the perspective of social movements confronting neoliberalism. First, I summarise the background and conduct of the EPA negotiations in the context of asymmetrical power in relations between the EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group. Next, I give an account of the civil society campaign to review and renegotiate the Caribbean EPA; focusing on issues, methods and tactics and the factors leading to the eventual outcome. Finally, I reflect on the lessons to be drawn for social movements in confronting neoliberalism.
