La investigación documental, el diálogo con actores directos y el análisis fueron el método que llevaron a plantar la hipótesis de que la AEC es producto de una visión postcolonial de reafirmación de los estados caribeños insulares para una mejor interrelación con su entorno que les facilite una mayor viabilidad. Los resultados indican que, en un mundo convulsionado, cambiante y multipolar, el Gran Caribe requiere de mayor cohesión para la concertación y cooperación que le permitan avanzar hacia un desarrollo sostenible, dada su fragilidad ante desastres naturales, presiones geopolíticas y débil conectividad.]]></p></abstract>
