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.

  • December Moorden Ontwikkelingen in Aanloop Naar De December Moorden MILITAIRE BESTUUR in SURINAME
    December moorden Ontwikkelingen in aanloop naar de December moorden MILITAIRE BESTUUR IN SURINAME In Suriname is op 26 februari de macht in handen gekomen van de Nationale Militaire Raad, waarin 7 onderofficieren en één officier van de Surinaamse krijgsmacht zitting hebben. De machtsovername volgde na een geslaagde militaire coup waarbij een aantal belangrijke gebouwen in de hoofdstad Paramaribo werden bezet en leden van de zittende regering-Arron werden gearresteerd. Bij schietpartijen die zich daarbij voordeden zouden zeker 20 mensen gedood zijn. President Ferrier is in functie gebleven en heeft inmiddels overleg gevoerd met de militairen. Volgens een presidentiële verklaring zal er een nieuwe regering gevormd worden, maar de militaire raad zal betrokken blijven bij het beleid. Eerder is er sprake van geweest dat er een burgerraad gevormd zal worden, waarin vooraanstaande leden van de oppositie zitting zouden nemen. Aanleiding tot de coup was de grote ontevredenheid bij de onderofficieren over de weigering van de regering de vakbond voor militairen te erkennen, een kwestie die al geruime tijd speelt en al eerder voor protestacties heeft gezorgd NIEUWE LEIDING SURINAME • De president van Suriname, Johan Ferrier, heeft op 13 augustus, op verzoek van het leger, meegedeeld dat hij is afgetreden. Hij is vervangen door Henk Chin A Sen, die op 15 maart door de Nationale Militaire Raad, het hoogste orgaan sedert de staatsgreep van 25 februari, aangewezen werd als premier. Hij blijft ook deze functie bekleden. Johan Ferrier, die sedert de onafhankelijkheid president is geweest (en daarvoor lange tijd gouverneur van het rijksdeel Suriname) en ook na de staatsgreep in functie bleef, heeft in de afgelopen tijd druk uitgeoefend op Chin A Sen en de Nationale Militaire Raad om het parlement zijn bevoegdheden terug te geven.

  • De Geboorte Van WINIED De Terugkeer Van De Satire in De Surinaamse Pers
    Ellen de Vries De geboorte van WINIED De terugkeer van de satire in de Surinaamse pers Paramaribo heeft verschillende pleinen. […] Een van deze pleinen met een rijke historische achtergrond is het onafhankelijkheidsplein. […] Ons land heeft vriendschapsbanden met de landen van wie de vlaggen op dat plein hangen. Meten we de innigheid van deze banden aan de con- ditie van de vlaggen, dan zien we het volgende: Suriname kan het best opschieten met Suriname en het slechtst met Nederland en Frankrijk. (WINIED, 25 januari 1989 in de Ware Tijd) inleiding De voorbereiding op de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname verliep niet zonder strubbelingen, maar op 25 november 1975 was het dan toch zover. Terwijl koningin Juliana in Den Haag de soevereiniteitsoverdracht ondertekende, werd Johan Ferrier in Paramaribo beëdigd tot presi- dent. De avond daarvoor was het feest in de hoofdstad al losgebarsten. Vuurwerk knalde. Bedrijven en particulieren hadden advertentieruimte gekocht in Surinaamse kranten om de jonge Republiek te feliciteren met het feit van haar bestaan. Voor degenen die minder fiducie hadden in een probleemloze verzelfstandiging en hun koffers hadden gepakt om de oversteek naar het moederland te maken, werden verzoekplaatjes aange- vraagd.1 ‘Adjosi – vaarwel’, snikte Max Nijman op de Surinaamse radio.2 Nederlandse media – ook uitgerukt om het festijn te verslaan – regis- treerden hoe de Nederlandse driekleur onder het toeziend oog van prin- ses Beatrix, prins Claus en premier Den Uyl werd gestreken. De Leeuwarder Courant noteerde dat Den Uyl een traan wegpinkte op het moment dat de Surinaamse vlag onder luid gejuich werd gehesen.3 Symbolisch was mis- | Tropenstijl schien wel dat de Surinaamse vlag vervaardigd was door de Dokkumer Vlaggen Centrale en dus ook een Nederlands tintje had.4 De onafhankelijkheid van Suriname betekende paradoxaal ge- noeg niet dat Suriname en Nederland nu afscheid van elkaar namen.

How did the young Republic deal with its dependency on the Netherlands for development aid after 1975? Was Paramaribo following a certain foreign policy strategy of a path or did it merely react towards internal and external events? What were the decision making processes in defi ning the foreign policy course and who was involved in these processes? And why was a proposal An analysis of the foreign policy discussed to hand back the right of an independent foreign and defence policy to a Dutch Commonwealth government in the early 1990s? of Suriname from 1975 to 1991 These questions are examined here in depth, in the fi rst comprehensive analysis wof Suriname’s foreign policy from 1975 to 1991. The book provides readers interested in Caribbean and Latin American affairs with a detailed account of Suriname’s external relations. Moreover, the young Republic may stand as a case study, as it confronted the diffi culties and challenges that small developing states often face.

  • Relações Brasil-Suriname Entre 1975 E 1985 Towards Confidence Building: Brazil-Suriname Relations Between 1975 and 1985
    Artigo A lógica da construção de confiança: Relações Brasil-Suriname entre 1975 e 1985 Towards confidence building: Brazil-Suriname relations between 1975 and 1985 JOÃO NACKLE URT* Rev. Bras. Polít. Int. 53 (2): 70-87 [2010] Introdução O presente artigo trata das relações bilaterais Brasil-Suriname, tendo como marco temporal inicial a independência do Suriname (1975) e como marco final, o término do governo Figueiredo no Brasil (1985). O destaque vai para as relações havidas a partir de 1982, ano em que um novo golpe de Estado indicou que o Suriname poderia se tornar uma ditadura de esquerda, aliada de Cuba e da Líbia. Nesse momento, enquanto Países Baixos e Estados Unidos optaram por tentar sufocar a rebelião surinamesa por meio do corte da ajuda financeira que davam ao país, o governo brasileiro enviou uma missão diplomática para aprofundar o diálogo e oferecer uma opção ao Suriname. Enquanto os Estados Unidos intervinham militarmente em Granada, a pouco mais de mil quilômetros de distância da costa surinamesa, o Brasil escolheu o caminho da cooperação para evitar a “cubanização” de seu vizinho. Conclui-se que ao longo desse período, o Brasil buscou assegurar relações confiáveis com seu mais novo vizinho sem despertar protestos de hegemonia ou satelitização, orientando-se pelo objetivo da construção de confiança regional. O primeiro tópico apresenta o Suriname, sua situação geográfica e parte de sua história, desde o processo de independência, passando pela “rebelião dos sargentos” em 1980, até a radicalização sob o governo do comandante Desiré Bouterse, a partir de 1982. Apresentam-se também alguns aspectos das relações internacionais do Suriname e de sua política externa.
