biosecurity, transdiplomacy, security community, Greater CaribbeanAbstract
The document proposes a theoretical framework for building a biosecurity community in the Greater Caribbean by integrating the concepts of biosecurity, transdiplomacy, and security community. It analyzes regional integration processes in CARICOM, OECS, and ACS, highlighting their potential and challenges in fostering cooperation, trust, and responsibility for life and territorial care. The work emphasizes transcending traditional security to prioritize ecological sustainability, social justice, and multilevel transdiplomacy involving state and civil actors. Despite structural inequalities and fragmentation, these organizations offer complementary scales of integration toward resilient, inclusive governance. Advancing a biosecurity community requires overcoming limits through renewed leadership and genuine participation, establishing a regional biopolitical paradigm essential for sustainable peace and development in the Caribbean and beyond.
