Book Description

This comparative study of two republics - Guyana in South America, and Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean - examines the conditions which determine regime survival in less developed countries.

In both Guyana and Trinidad, post-independence leaders made politically expedient decisions resulting in a series of political and economic crises.
