| description | In 2008, fuel prices increased in French Guyana, whilst at the same time world fuel prices fell. In reaction to this the Guyanese began a protest on November 24th, 2008 against the rise of fuel prices and the high cost of living in general. Paralyzed for more than ten days during the protest, the country suffered a year long a crisis. This small isolated protest was transformed into an unconventional collective movement. The situation in Guyana can be applied to the A. Touraine’s theory of how a movement can give a country and its people an identity, which allows them to fight against the adversary. The public power with whom they share the same objectives but disagree on the means of achieving them. Two popular consultations marked the attachment of French Guyana to Metropolitan France, such as the simplification of the administration sector. |
