Colloquium in US today on Guyana’s future

Sep 04, 2010 News

A Colloquium will be held in the United States by some prominent Guyanese as well as members of the Diaspora to have a constructive dialogue to decipher a way forward locally.
The meeting will benefit from a keynote address by Dr. Ivelaw Griffith and presentations by others such as Dr. Aubrey Bonnett, Dr David Hinds, Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, Dr. Simone Alexander, Halim Majeed and Pamela Maynard among others.
Dr Griffith in a brochure promoting the event which will be held at the St. Peter Claver Auditorium says that the presentation forms the basis of an Open Letter to the potential contenders for political power in Guyana’s impending elections.
He says that it highlights the significant sovereignty challenges facing the nation-state over which they hope to maintain or assume political rule.
“It notes actual and potential sovereignty threats emanating from the external arena, notably the territorial claims on the eastern and western fronts, and existing internally, chiefly the chronic crime and violence…The presentation places Guyana’s sovereignty dilemma in the broader geopolitical realities of the region, including the recent return to power in Suriname of Desi Bouterse, and it offers some broad recommendations for the political elites in Guyana to consider in meeting the sovereignty challenges.”
Dr Griffith is a specialist on Caribbean security issues who has published dozens of scholarly articles and seven books, including Drugs and Security in the Caribbean, Democracy and Human Rights in the Caribbean, and Caribbean Security in the Age of Terror.
He also has served as a consultant to various entities, including Canada’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Organization of American States, USAID, and the Ministry of National Security of Jamaica.
A Past President of the Caribbean Studies Association, Ivelaw has been invited by the United States Congress to testify on Caribbean Security issues.
