IN THIS ARTICLE, MILNE CONCLUDES THAT CO-OPERATIVE REPUBLIC MAY NOT BE A FULLY DEVELOPED IDEOLOGY, BUT THAT IT IS MORE THAN A MERE SLOGAN. FROM AN ANALYTIC POINT OF VIEW, IT MAY BE LOOKED AT FROM TWO ASPECTS, THE FIRST "NON-RACIAL", THE SECOND TAKING ACCOUNT OF RACE. FROM THE FIRST ANGLE IT REPRESENTS AN ATTEMPT TO ENCOURAGE QUALITIES LACKING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.

The last ten years have been marked by the adoption of privatization policies by governments in the ASEAN states with the exception of Brunei. The purpose of the article is to consider the pattern of privatization in the countries, not primarily as regards the organizational forms which it assumes, but, rather, with reference to the "recipients" and their links to the allocators.

Drawing on the experiences of Guyana, Malaysia, & Fiji, the hypothesis that bicommunal systems have a high potential for conflict, violence, & even disintegration is examined. In all three countries there is segmentation along ethnic lines. Rather than a balance existing between the groups in each country, one group is hegemonic, although there is some variation in the ethnic composition of the cabinet, civil service, etc; & some bargaining among groups is permitted, though less so in Guyana, which has fewer economic resources & is more reliant on coercion. Two other features have contributed to a relatively low degree of conflict in each of the three countries: the absence of external intervention, & the fact that the ethnic groups are not so greatly concentrated geographically as to encourage demands for secession.
