    A Special New Year's Day edition - a lecture by former Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley entitled: Caribbean Cooperation: the imperative for survival. The edited highlights on the 45 minute 4th Norman Washington Manley Memorial lecture delivered on October 30th,1992 at the London School of Economics where he was a student in the late 1940's. In an interview with Hugh Croskell, Michael Manley answers the same question posed to his late father -"Why did Jamaicans reject Federation?" He states that it was the element of fear in politics, such as the loss of Jamiacan jobs to other small Caribbean island nationals combined with other economic insecurities. He stated that there were positive factors and huge natural advantages between the Caribbean islands such as similar cultures, largely common history, similar language etc. He noted that the economic cooperation, collective intelligence, and integration could have possibly worked for the benefit of the Caribbean. He also posed a series of questions regarding the move towards Caribbean unity.
