Exceptional victories: Multiracialism in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana

Abstract

This paper seeks to discuss the conditions under which unique multiracial electoral victories occurred in the two neighbouring racially divided countries of Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. I argue that there was an opening in the political party system in each country which permitted the rise of a new electoral force, and that it was driven by a new political class. This class projected a national developmental model which was attractive to voters. The two models in both countries were quite dissimilar, and reflected the type of development and a confluence of economic factors that were unique to each country.
