Ethno-National Self Determination in Tobago and Nevis

Introduction

This paper analyzes the self-determination movements in two countries in the Caribbean, Nevis St. Kitts-Nevis and Trinidad and Tobago in Tobago, from the perspective of regional factor as a fundamental element, complemented and reinforced by secondary factors, such as abandonment and decentralist exploitation.1 Many separatist movements, the uniqueness and ethnicity serve as the main trigger precipitator claims autonomy.2 Both Nieves and Tobago, however, this factor is not recorded in the racial distinctiveness. Nevis and Trinidad population is almost entirely of African descent. His claim to some kind of self-determination is intertwined with the demands of cultural uniqueness, and other causes.
