Wpływ podziałów socjopolitycznych na proces kształtowania się systemu partyjnego w Gujanie

The Author would like to introduce the reader to problems of Guyana, a former British Colony. She outlines a brief historical scetch, introduces to the main confl icts (mostly ideological and ethnic confl icts), which had a dominant role in the shaping of this small state and also explains the role of the United Stated and Great Britain in process of gaining its independence. She explains the impact of superiorly generated sociopolitical cleavages on the party system and the origins of the imbalance party system. She also presents a detailed analysis of the undemocratic domination of Afroguyanians (1964–1992) and the democratic domination of Guyanians of Indian descent (from 1992 to this day). She also stresses, that the parties tending to maximalize their political profi ts, are eager to keep the confl ict going and to preserve electoral voting according to the rule of ethnic belonging (apanjaat).
