  • The Caribbean’s variety of governmental structures and complex history can make it difficult to determine which islands are actual countries, and which ones are technically not. In this presentation, we will provide clarity on this subject and explain four types of government and political structure of the Caribbean, and answer the question of how many Caribbean countries there really are.

    I beg to differ on some of your comments, for example, After Haiti, Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago are the two oldest Republics in the Caribbean and has been so even before some of the other islands even got independence. Therefore all the other islands have seen and known what its like to be a Caribbean Republic from these two larger more populated countries. So explain to us why use relatively new Republics such as Barbados and Dominica as examples ???????
