The expiration in 1982 of the Protocol of Port-of-Spain reheated a border dispute between Venezuela and Guyana that had been frozen since 1970, Almost at once, Venezuelan ultranationalists asserted the need to recover by force the Essequibo region of Guyana--two-thirds of that country--which Venezuela had long claimed. While rejecting force as a solution, the Venezuelan government has indicated that the Protocol will not be renewed, thus pushing the economically and politically vulnerable Guyana toward new and uncertain negotiations. This book describes the actors and their stake in the conflict, the capacity of each to develop the disputed region, and the implications of the Venezuelan claim for both sides. Incorporating a critical examination of the conflict's historical-legal background, Dr. Braveboy-Wagner chronicles the progress of the dispute through its various stages and describes the attempts of both sides to elicit outside support, especially from other Third World nations. Finally, she assesses the possibilities for a solution by force and by compromise and considers the potential for U.S. involvement.

This volume, the first of a three-part documentary of the Guyana-Venezuela border issue, gives a general overview of the early history of the colonization of the Essequibo region forming the large western part of Guyana. It presents the background to the origin of the territorial dispute which developed from 1840 and examines the opposing views of proposed boundary lines and the long trail of diplomatic exchanges between Venezuela and Great Britain (the colonial ruler of Guyana, then known as British Guiana). It concludes with the involvement of the United States in support of Venezuela, eventually leading to the international arbitration for a "full, perfect, and final settlement" and the arbitral award which delineated the territorial boundary in 1899.

This volume, the second of a three-part documentary, continues the history of the Guyana-Venezuela border issue from where Volume One left off. It describes Venezuelas dissatisfaction over the territorial and boundary award issued in 1899 by the international arbitral tribunal, subsequently leading to that countrys government unilaterally declaring it in 1962 as being null and void. The volume goes on to examine the evolved political events, including the sporadic Venezuelan infringements of Guyanas territorial integrity and the pursuit of diplomacy by both countries, resulting eventually in 1966 to a formal agreement at Geneva aimed at seeking a practical settlement of the controversy arising from Venezuelas contention of the nullity of the arbitral award. A subsidiary protocol to suspend the search for a settlement was signed in Port of Spain in 1970, but the succeeding twelve-year period was characterized by a succession of bilateral political interplay, resulting in Venezuelas decision to terminate this pact in 1982.

This volume, the third of a three-part documentary, continues the history of the Guyana-Venezuela border issue from where Volume Two left off. It deals with the involvement of the office of the secretary general of United Nations ever since the termination of the Protocol of Port of Spain in 1982 in the efforts to settle the controversy. While this process did not make any progress as was anticipated, the two countries, despite some intermittent setbacks, maintained a generally cordial relationship that saw an advance in trade relations and political cooperation. The volume also examines the political and economic relations between Guyana and Venezuela since 1982 and the diplomatic activities they undertook to win international support for their respective positions. The authors own diplomatic involvement in the issue is also highlighted.

This book is about Anglo-American involvement in the reopening of the border controversy between Guyana, formerly British Guiana, and Venezuela. The dispute over the border commenced in the mid-nineteenth century when Venezuela asserted a claim to some two-thirds of the territory of the British colony. Great Britain’s refusal to refer the delimitation of the border to arbitration developed into a major crisis in Anglo-American affairs in 1895. The United States had assessed the issue as a major challenge to the Monroe Doctrine and it would provoke the two English-speaking powers close to military conflict. In 1899, an arbitral tribunal met in Paris and agreed unanimously on the boundary line between British Guiana and Venezuela. That boundary line has been universally accepted. In 1962 at the height of the Cold War, Venezuela repudiated the award claiming that it was a “political deal”. Fidel Castro had assumed power in Cuba and there were anxieties about the spread of Communism in the Americas, particularly in British Guiana during the pre-independence premiership of Marxist oriented Cheddi Jagan. Cedric Joseph examines the primary documents relating to the diplomacy of the administrations of John F Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. He explores their special relationships, sympathies and acute predisposition towards Venezuela that permitted the reopening of the boundary issue and ultimately sacrificed the territorial integrity of Guyana. He also establishes the collusion between Suriname’s claim to territory in Guyana and the Venezuelan claim.

"Unsettled Borders" offers a comprehensive exploration into the long-standing territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela, focusing on the resource-rich Esequibo region. While many territorial disputes find their roots in ancient claims or colonial legacy, the Esequibo contention has taken on fresh urgency in the face of modern geopolitics and the discovery of vast oil reserves. The narrative begins with the early history of the region, highlighting the pre-colonial indigenous societies that once called Esequibo home. As European powers began to carve out empires, the disputed territory became a pawn in a larger game, leading to a series of shifting claims and treaties. The book carefully dissects the 1899 arbitration agreement, often cited as the genesis of the modern dispute, providing readers with a clear understanding of its complexities and ambiguities. The heart of "Unsettled Borders" delves into the 20th and 21st centuries, charting the escalation in tensions between Guyana and Venezuela. Using a mix of diplomatic cables, firsthand accounts, and on-the-ground reporting, the book paints a vivid picture of the negotiations, skirmishes, and political maneuvers that have defined the modern phase of the conflict. However, the discovery of significant oil reserves in the Esequibo waters adds a new dimension to this age-old contention. With global energy players now vested in the outcome, the stakes have never been higher. The book examines the impact of these discoveries on local communities, the environment, and the already tense diplomatic relations, providing insight into the potential future of the dispute in this new oil-charged era. "Unsettled Borders" serves as a crucial guide for understanding the Guyana-Venezuela dispute, bringing to light the interplay of history, geopolitics, and natural resources in shaping the destiny of a region and its people.

Although it has been more than a century since Guyana and Venezuela border dispute was settled, Venezuela continues to shift its foreign policy away from compliance with its international obligations. It is approximately 128 years since diplomatic relations were severed between Venezuela and Great Britain over the border issue. At the insistence of Venezuela, the United States considered the controversy as falling within the purview of the Monroe Doctrine. Consequently, the United States pressured Great Britain into making an Agreement with Venezuela in 1897. Unlike Venezuela which is over two centuries old, it has been 49 years since Guyana gained its independence from Great Britain. Since that time, there have been several challenges to the country's Development. It will be shown that some of these challenges have had devastated consequences for Development. The operating premise is that a country's development objectives are best attained if there is a stable political climate.
