Abstract

Barbados was one of Britain's oldest colonies and remained under British rule from 1627 until 1966 when it became independent. During the twentieth century, Barbados contemplated becoming a republic a few times and established two commissions that addressed the potential political change from a monarchy to a republic, that is, a democratic state that does not have a monarch or royalty at the head. This article seeks to chronicle Barbados's journey to a republican status. It highlights the final events and debates leading up to Barbados cutting colonial ties with Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State and the declaration of the Republic and installation on 30 November 2021 of the first president of Barbados, Dame Sandra Mason, as the Head of State. Some social and economic effects of Barbados's transition to a republic on Barbados and Caribbean countries in the Commonwealth are also examined. Keywords: Barbados, Cox Commission, Errol Barrow, Forde Commission, independence, Mia Mottley, Owen Arthur, republic, referendum.
