The border dispute between Suriname and Guyana : reflections on a contested territorial triangle / Evert G. Gonesh ; translation Arnoud Budelman. - 167 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm

Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-165).

The border dispute between Suriname and Guyana has its roots in colonial times. This book sheds light on the genesis of the border dispute based on historical documents, while outlining the policy followed by the government of the Netherlands regarding this issue and further focuses on relevant aspects of international law and hitherto underexposed, if not hidden, historical facts. The author hopes that this publication could contribute to a balanced assessment of the problem by both governments in their pursuit of a peaceful solution of the border dispute.
