Guyanese Strategic Culture – Leaders Levering Landscapes

By Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith

This Strategic Culture Findings Report, authored by Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith, is influenced
by a working group that held a workshop in Miami on October 7, 2011. The workshop
included six prominent scholars on Guyanese history, geography, economics, politics,
foreign policy, and military affairs. In addition to Dr. Griffith, the experts were Drs.
George Danns, Mark Kirton, Perry Mars, Desmond Thomas, and Nigel Westmaas.
