Themadeel In november 2015 herdenken/vieren de inwoners van Suriname de veertigjarige onafhankelijkheid van hun republiek. Voor een tijdschrift waarin voornamelijk artikelen worden opgenomen die betrekking hebben op Suriname, zou het gepast zijn geweest om ruim aandacht te besteden aan de onafhankelijkheid van 25 november 1975. Over de sociale, politieke en economische ontwikkelingen voor en na de onafhankelijkheid is betrekkelijk veel gepubliceerd. Het wachten is op nieuwe theoretische invalshoeken en op de openstelling van archieven in Suriname, Nederland en de Verenigde Staten, die nieuw licht kunnen werpen op de wijze waarop in deze landen is gesproken over en gehandeld met betrekking tot Suriname's onafhankelijkheid en de gebeurtenissen daarna. De redactie heeft ervoor gekozen om niet stil te staan bij de onafhankelijkheid, maar de aandacht te richten op de ontwikkelingen vanaf 1980. De militaire staatsgreep van 1980 is naast de onafhankelijkheid in 1975 de andere belangrijke gebeurtenis in de naoorlogse politieke geschiedenis van Suriname. De militairen spraken en spreken nu nog van een revolutie. Zo wordt de staatsgreep ieder jaar herdacht op 25 februari - de dag van de revolutie - op het plein van de revolutie, waarop een monument ter herdenking van de revolutie is geplaatst.1 Zowel de onafhankelijkheid als de militaire staatgreep vormt een cesuur in de moderne politieke geschiedenis van Suriname.

Kenmerken van de Surinaamse politiek vóór 1975 Verschillende auteurs hebben een beschrijving gegeven van de Surinaamse politieke arena in de periode na de Tweede Wereldoorlog (zie onder meer: Van Lier 1971; Bagley 1973; Kruijer 1973; Dew 1978, 1994; Ooft 1979; Derveld 1982; Fernandes Mendes 1988; Haakmat, 1996).

The papers in this series: analyse migration as part of broader global change contribute to new theoretical approaches advance understanding of the multi-level forces driving migration Abstract Increased population mobility has confronted the Western welfare states with various flows of immigrants varying from labour migrants to destitute refugees. A special category of migrants is formed by the immigrants from former colonies settling in their former mother countries. Welfare states have tried to keep control over immigration by implementing an increasingly refined set of laws regulating entry, residence and work of foreigners. The Netherlands have been no exception to this general trend. Moreover, immigration was a sensitive political issue in the Netherlands because the country was generally considered to be densely populated.

  • Ask Most Casual Students of History When the Time of Colonialism Came to an End
    ABSTRACT Guiana and the Shadows of Empire: Colonial and Cultural Negotiations at the Edge of the World Joshua R. Hyles, M.A. Mentor: Keith A. Francis, Ph.D. Nowhere in the world can objective study of colonialism and its effects be more fruitful than in the Guianas, the region of three small states in northeastern South America. The purpose of this thesis is threefold. First, the history of these three Guianas, now known as Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname, is considered briefly, emphasizing their similarities and regional homogeny when compared to other areas. Second, the study considers the administrative policies of each of the country’s colonizers, Britain, France, and the Netherlands, over the period from settlement to independence. Last, the thesis concentrates on current political and cultural situations in each country, linking these developments to the policies of imperial administrators in the previous decades. By doing so, this thesis hopes to show how an area that should have developed as a single polity could become a region of three very distinct cultures through the altering effects of colonialism.

  • Re-Democratization in Guyana and Suriname: Critical Comparisons
    European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies 84, April 2008 | 71-85 Re-democratization in Guyana and Suriname: Critical Comparisons Chaitram Singh Guyana and Suriname, two neighbouring countries on the northeast coast of South America, both re-assumed the path to democracy in the early 1990s. Guyana had from 1968 to 1992 experienced an authoritarian regime with the People’s National Congress (PNC), led by Forbes Burnham, maintaining power by rigged elections and the support of the security forces. In Suriname, the elected government of Prime Minister Henck Arron was overthrown by a military coup in 1980, only five years after independence. The military in this case chose not to govern by placing officers into the positions of president and prime minister but reserved for itself active veto powers over a predominantly civilian-staffed government until 1991. However, maintaining an authoritarian regime proved costly in both cases, and economic decline set in. The need for external aid rendered both regimes suscepti- ble to foreign pressure for a return to open party competition and free and fair elec- tions, already the subject of considerable and sustained domestic clamour in both cases. In the particular case of Suriname, an active insurgency by the country’s Maroons, while compounding the factors pushing Suriname down the economic slide and inviting international opprobrium over military excesses, convinced the military leaders that they did not have the political and social wherewithal to gov- ern effectively and that some accommodation with the established political parties was necessary. In both cases, too, the end of the Cold War and the stated goal of the United States to have a zone of democracy in this hemisphere had delegiti- mized military rule.
