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. Given
the structure of political and economic organization typical of
these countries, and of the web of international relations of which
they are a part, political survival can very often depend on a
leader's willingness to serve the interests of a small, but
politically strategic minority. In both Guyana and Trinidad
post-independence leaders made politically expedient decisions that
foreclosed policy choices consistent with the satisfaction of
collective needs. As a result both countries experienced a series
of political and economic crises. This in-depth comparative study
of Guyana and Trinidad will be of interest to all scholars,
students and policy-makers concerned with aspects of political and
economic development in the Third World.
