Abstract:

The long-standing boundary dispute between Venezuela and Guyana over the Essequibo region comprising 70% of Guyana's territory, is deeply rooted in colonial history and geopolitical interests. The conflict escalated significantly after the 2015 discovery of massive oil and gas reserves off the Essequibo coast, estimated at over 11 billion barrels. This discovery prompted Venezuela to renew its territorial claims, citing historical colonial rights. Conversely, Guyana bases its sovereignty on international legal rulings, such as the 1899 arbitration award, and public opinion surveys that show an

Abstract:

The first one hundred years of the Dutch presence on the “Wild Coast” of Guiana, beginning with exploratory voyages and establishment of trading networks, and culminating in the establishment of plantation societies in Berbice and Essequibo, forms the historical context for the emergence of the Dutch creole languages of Berbice and Essequibo. This article explores that historical backdrop, focusing on the early plantation colonies, their management, and the presence and roles of different linguistic groups: Amerindian, Dutch, African. Amerindians—both free and enslaved—formed a numerically dom

RESUMO O artigo trata da ciência como veículo produtor de um discurso de verdade sobre a disputa diplomática por limites geográficos entre diferentes nações no século XIX. A mudança do estatuto que a ciência adquiriu entre os séculos XVIII e XIX como instrumento para solução de conflitos é trabalhada especificamente na análise do caso da disputa anglo-brasileira pelo Pirara, terras fronteiriças entre Roraima e Guiana Inglesa, lugar de encontro da bacia do rio Essequibo com a do Amazonas. A ciência inglesa manifestou-se na disputa com o Brasil produzindo um mapeamento cartográfico muito bem ela

Abstract:

Latin American countries managed to avoid major wars after their liberation from the colonial system. At the same time, smaller, local wars and territorial conflicts have affected the region, often creating a tense interstate atmosphere and delineating areas of geographically disputed affiliation. In the 21st century, the controversial territorial disputes of the 19th and 20th centuries continue to shape the re-gional dynamics of interstate relations. Among the numerous examples, this paper examines the land disputes between Chile and Bolivia (Atacama, Anto-fagasta), Argentina and the United K

The genus Sorubim Cuvier, 1829, and two species, S. lima (Bloch & Schneider 1801) and S. trigonocephalus Miranda- Ribeiro, 1920, are redescribed based on the examination of type material and about 400 non-type specimens from ichthyological collections in Europe and North and South America. The five species of the genus are, in addition to S. lima and S. trigonocephalus, S. elongatus Littmann, Burr, Schmidt and Isern 2001, found in the Essequibo, Orinoco, and Amazon basins; S. cuspicaudus Littmann, Burr and Nass 2000, occurring in the Sinu, Cauca, and Magdalena rivers of Colombia and the La

Abstract:

Two new species of particular biogeographic significance are described from the upper rio Paraguay basin, one of the genus Paracanthopoma (Trichomycteridae, Vandelliinae) and the other of the genus Ernstichthys (Aspredinidae, Hoplomyzontinae). The two species occur sympatrically in the Rio Taquarizinho, tributary of the Rio Taquari, in the upper Paraguay system. Paracanthopoma saci is distinguished from its only congener, P. parva, by a spatulate caudal peduncle; a minuscule premaxillary dentition (reduced to three delicate teeth); the supraorbital latero-sensory canals opening as two separate

Accounting for 3.3% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and a substantial 20.5% of the agricultural GDP, the rice industry has faced challenges influenced by various global and domestic factors, impacting the productivity and profitability of rice farmers. One key influencing factor is contract farming, involving agreements between farmers and firms that outline production and marketing con

Abstract This article examines the long history of claims over the Essequibo territory (now the Venezuela-Guyana border), focused on the late nineteenth-century gold rush and the ensuing diplomatic battles that culminated in the boundary arbitration trial of 1899 that formally settled today's borders. Reading across British and Venezuelan sources, including travel accounts, newspapers, British Colonial Office records, and Venezuelan Ministry of the Interior documents, I argue that the advance of extractive capitalism into the Essequibo precipitated heightened battles over control of this terri
