Book excerpt: Examining the conflict in Guyana, the author finds a country floundering in ethnic insecurity that the state has failed to constructively address, guaranteeing continuing violence and instability. He examines the roots of conflict between Afro-Guyanese and Indian-Guyanese, arguing that the state's continuing reliance on coercive force to repress minorities will fail to end the conflict. He proposes a model called Collaborative Analytical Problem Solving as a framework for ending the conflict and briefly examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the South African experience as lessons in conflict resolution.
