Politics in a Plantation Society relates the struggle for independence in the former British Guiana and the analyzes the political and economic development of post-independence Guyana.  Special emphasis is given to the perversion of democracy and the use of cooperative socialism as a mechanism for the economic transformation of the country.

This work examines the bargaining relationship between a small mineral producing country and large multinational corporations.  The essential argument is that the bargaining position of a state, whose major source of income derives from small mineral reserves, is markedly different than one with larger reserves, and the ability of such a state to effectively deal with the multinationals depends on its ability to manage economic nationalism.
