Caribbean economic diplomacy is at a crossroad, not knowing where and how to turn. This paper opens an intense discourse on the issues facing the Caribbean economy – the nexus between integration and convergence, the stress and resilience of its economic institutions, as well as the dilemma of leaders in the practice of economic diplomacy.  The paper also examines the old and new challenges of global cooperation and the framework of power and geopolitics in the conduct of economic diplomacy in the Caribbean. As the frontiers of Caribbean diplomacy shift, its unique and diverse landscape makes the region an enigma with unfolding foreign policy options on a fragile map of the many Caribbeans in one economic space.
