The Erasmus + program really knows no borders!
At the turn of May and June 2022, I had the pleasure to visit the Faculty of Law of the University of West Indies in Barbados.
I was very curious about this visit for several reasons.
First of all – as a constitutional lawyer researching contemporary monarchies and the relics of monarchy in the republics – I visited the young Republic of Barbados with great curiosity. It is worth adding that from November 2021, Barbados ceased to be a monarchy, and Elizabeth II ceased to be the Queen of Barbados. The young republic is intensively building and strengthening its new identity and political system. The result of this visit will be an article (in writing) about the transformation of the Caribbean monarchy into a republic and its new system. I trust that the reviewers will like it and it will be published this year (I will inform you when the publication is available). The legal system of the Caribbean countries only seems to be simple and „British”. Numerous nuances resulting from history, complex relations between these island states, influences other than the British legal system (e.g. French and Dutch law) and, of course, the achievements of the Caribbean nations, make the Caribbean legal system a fascinating subject of research, and its study – a challenge and an adventure.
