Studying the so-called 'Three Guianas' (Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana) offers a unique opportunity to look for similarities and differences in their contemporary patterns of development, particularly as they grapple with new and complex shifts in the regional, hemispheric and global context. Shaped decisively by their respective historical experiences, Guyana, in tandem with the laissez-faire approach of Britain toward its Caribbean colonies, was decolonised relatively early, in 1966, and has maintained a significant degree of distance from London. The hold of The Hague over Suriname, however, endured well after independence in 1975. French Guiana, by contrast, was decolonised much sooner than both of its neighbours, in 1946, but this was through full integration, thus cementing its place within the political economy and administrative structures of France itself. Traditionally isolated from the Caribbean, the wider Latin American continent and from each other, today, a range of similar issues - such as migration, resource extraction, infrastructure development and energy security - are coming to bear on their societies and provoking deep and complex changes. 410 0$aInternational political economy of new regionalisms series. 606 $aPostcolonialism$zGuyana 606 $aPostcolonialism$zSuriname 606 $aPostcolonialism$zFrench Guiana 606 $aEconomic development$zGuyana 606 $aEconomic development$zSuriname 606 $aEconomic development$zFrench Guiana 607 $aGuyana$xPolitics and government$y1966- 607 $aSuriname$xPolitics and government$y1975- 607 $aFrench Guiana$xPolitics and government$y1947- 615 0$aPostcolonialism 615 0$aPostcolonialism 615 0$aPostcolonialism 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a320.9045 701 $aBishop$b Matthew Louis$f1979-$0959004 701 $aClegg$b Peter$f1972-$0959005 701 $aHoefte$b Rosemarijn$f1959-$0959006 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151707903321 996 $aPost-colonial trajectories in the Caribbean$92172779 997 $aUNINA
