DESCRIPTION:FIU's Latin American and Caribbean Center and Books & Books pro
 udly present an evening with Dr. Ivelaw L. Griffith at Books & Books.\n\nB
 ook Description:\n\nGuyana resides in an oil- endowed neighborhood\, along
  with Venezuela\, Brazil\, Colombia\, and Trinidad and Tobago as major oil
  and gas producers and Suriname rising in the petro production ranks. Howe
 ver\, South America’s sole Anglophone republic is also located in a wet 
 neighborhood\, where climate change has begun to impact society and can di
 minish some of the oil gains. This dual reality requires understanding the
  vicissitudes of the promise of oil and the potential peril of climate cha
 nge.\n\n \n\nThis book undertakes this task. It examines the dynamics of t
 he country’s oil pursuits in the context of its political environment\, 
 assesses its physical and social geography and its environmental security 
 vulnerability that has been accentuated by climate change factors\, and ex
 plains the geoeconomic and geopolitical implications of Venezuela’s clai
 m to Essequibo for the country’s petro power pursuits. The book also car
 ries an appendix with fun facts about the country’s oil\, gas\, and clim
 ate change realities.\n\n \n\nDr. Ivelaw Griffith is a Fellow with the Car
 ibbean Policy Consortium and a former Senior Associate with the Center for
  Strategic and International Studies who has published widely on Caribbean
  affairs.
