Les relations entre les departements francais d`Amerique et les Caraibes :  une histoire en construction 

 -  Ecole Nationale d`Administration,  jan-mars. 2002 
<br/><br/> Initially, decentralisation together with the development of identity claims, provoked a progressive rediscovery of the Caribbean area; strategies and cooperation instruments were devised which operated within a framework of competing models and in particular brought about the creation of different sets of logic opposing the state against certain local actors of the FDA. At the dawn of the 1990s, marked by the development of globalisation, ideological conflicts are fading. In a Caribbean space which is enjoying a full phase of deconstruction/reconstruction, the approach of the FDA towards their environment is being revised, all the more so given that the simultaneous evolution of the territories’institutions and competences. This initiative of regional integration must, nevertheless, pursue a clear strategy in order to counter the proliferation of current measures.
