  <abstract>Seeks to explain differences and similarities in the structures of the Surinamese and Guyanese societies, the political system that emerged and the performance since the first election under universal suffrage.  Assumes that while there are differences between Guyana and Suriname with regard to the ethnic diversity, the political system and ethnic conflict, both societies are in a crisis of democracy and development that connot be explained by the 'plural society' and related concepts.</abstract>
