Resumo

Este artigo examina os horizontes de possibilidades para o traçar de um rumo para as Caraíbas em direcção a um futuro sustentável, centrando-se na multiplicidade de ligações em que as pessoas e as instituições da região estão envolvidas. Estas possibilidades, argumenta-se, são forjadas a partir de processos globais que começaram com o colonialismo. Elas baseiam-se numa reformulação das relações regionais, afastando-as das formas de soberania ocidental e dos centros de poder globais euro-americanos. Estão presentes em disposições e organizações institucionais regionais que transcendem as fronteiras moldadas por histórias de colonialismo. Derivam das histórias de resistência anti-colonial da região que impregnaram a consciência popular. E estão contidas na escala global das relações “tricontinentais”, através das quais circulam diferentes formas de rejeição do domínio global euro-americano. O artigo examina o seu potencial para transformar as Caraíbas de forma a maximizar a sustentabilidade ecológica, as condições de subsistência humana e a autonomia regional.
