University of Guyana  and erstwhile Fellow at Harvard University

As an emerging energy power, a forthcoming member of the UN Security Council, and with an energetic President reaching out internationally, Guyana now has a heightened role on the world stage. It is therefore timely for Guyanese to sharpen our insights into the major players and issues in international relations.
