This sequal to Seecoomar's well-received "Contributions towards the
Resolution of Conflict in Guyana" moves beyond his historical and
theoretical analysis of the causes of ethnic conflict and the
principles on which resolution might be based, to proposing
practical suggestions for finding a way out of the current
political impasse. At the heart of his argument is the desirability
of devolving as much power away from the centre and restoring to
village and township communities, within regional frameworks, the
kind of local governance that was largely harmonious before
competition for central power brought Guyana to a state of
continuous, simmering ethnic civil war. But, Seecoomar recognises
that Guyana's problems cannot all be solved at the local level, and
he devotes intensive analysis to various models for power-sharing
at the national level to replace the disastrous consequences of the
'first-past-the-post' Westminster parliamentary system. His
proposal for 'alternating' government is both novel and
provocative, addressing the need for both inclusion for both major
ethnic groups and for responsible opposition. The final section of
his book addresses the question of leadership in an ethnically
divided society.
