Abstract
This article analyzes the factors and processes involved in the failed coup attempt in Trinidad and Tobago by the Jamaat Muslimeen in July 1990. After a brief overview of historical and economic development, the analysis finds a close relationship between export dependency and political stability. The article also documents that intraMuslim jealousies and religious fundamentalism contributed to the Muslimeen's decision to attempt a coup against the Robinson government. The group's small size, poor planning, and inability to enlist the support of other social groups, including the military, contributed to the coup's failure.
