The Political SystemAmong the many obstacles to sustainable innovation in the Caribbean is the political system (the Westminster model) adopted by the Caribbean territories. This model has demonstrated no hope for sustainable innovation and has not been effective in harnessing cohesion in the Caribbean region. Arguably, the disruptive nature of this system is not conducive to long-term planning, which is essential for innovation. The model has flaws in the management of administration regarding the continuity of policies that end during one term and continue into the next.

As a result, intellectual knowledge is lost.

The government should play a supportive role in creating an enabling environment. The government must build an unlimited framework and the private sector provides the necessary feedback to improve the regulatory frameworks. The Caribbean region needs a government and private sector that seek to develop a symbiotic relationship..
