“Time out” on the promises of European Union Partnership

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

You, my man, are as just as short-sighted and as blind as the CARICOM leaders of which you speak. Why?

In organizational development and change, there is organizational learning. This means you can take best practice from one section of the organization and apply it to another.

Now tell me this. If CARICOM has had no monitoring-unit experience to control the implementation of its own dubious programmes, how do you expect this organization to learn from this emptiness about how to frame a unit to monitor something even bigger.

You are here being too naively optimistic and strangely unrealistic!

You see, there is absolutely no knowledge transfer from anything or section or place in CARICOM that is useful or a model to build on. There is no learning by or within CARICOM. Therefore, there is no knowledge or learning to transfer or use.

You have a virtual tabula rasa here. Just as Mr. Billy Preston sings: 'Nothing from nothing leaves nothing!' In other words, you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

With globalization, and the weakening of Europe, CARICOM has become increasingly irrelevant. Our trade aattaches should be in Asia and not Europe. Only 20th century politicians and diplomats have had their heads buried in the sand since the last century.
