Among the top ten oil exporters in the world and a founding member of OPEC, Venezuela currently supplies 11 percent of U.S. crude oil imports. But when the country elected the fiery populist politician Hugo Chavez in 1998, tensions rose with this key trading partner and relations have been strained ever since. In this concise, accessible addition to Oxford's What Everyone Needs to Know® series, Miguel Tinker Salas -- a native of Venezuela who has written extensively about the country -- takes a broadly chronological approach that focuses especially on oil and its effects on Venezuela's politics, economy, culture, and international relations. After an introductory section that discusses the legacy of Spanish colonialism, Tinker Salas explores the "The Era of the Gusher," a period which began with the discovery of oil in the early twentieth century, encompassed the mid-century development and nationalization of the industry, and ended with a change of government in 1989 in response to widespread protests. The third section provides a detailed discussion of Hugo Chavez-his rise to power, his domestic political and economic policies, and his high-profile forays into international relations-as well as surveying the current landscape of Venezuela in the wake of Chavez's death in March 2013. Arranged in a question-and-answer format that allows readers to search topics of particular interest, the book covers questions such as, who is Simón Bolívar and why is he called the George Washington of Latin America? How did the discovery of oil change Venezuela's relationship to the U.S.? What forces where behind the coups of 1992? And how does Venezuela interact with China, Russia, and Iran? Informative, engaging, and written by a leading expert on the country, Venezuela: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers an authoritative guide to an increasingly important player on the world stage.What Everyone Needs to Know® is a registered trademark of Oxford University Press.

En «Venezuela: 1830 a nuestros días. Breve historia política», el lector hallará una relación y un análisis de los hechos en forma sucinta y moderna. Desde hace décadas no se publicaba una investigación como ésta. Ahora podemos detenernos en todo el proceso de formación de la República, desde los tumultuosos años del siglo XIX hasta los no menos turbulentos de la actualidad. Se comprenderá mejor que los días de hoy vienen del pasado y que la continuidad ha estado más presente de lo que solemos imaginar. En este libro puede seguirse el esfuerzo de los venezolanos por formar una República dentro del marco de un Estado de derecho, así como las enormes dificultades que hemos enfrentado en la tarea de crear instituciones, bien sea por la dificultad misma o por la tendencia autoritaria que hemos padecido, que se presenta como un escollo para la construcción comunitaria. El autor no abandona la búsqueda de características de nuestra historia política y advierte en la Libertad, la Igualdad y la Justicia, tres valores centrales, así como el difícil norte de la Democracia, dentro de un marco definitorio ineludible: el del Estado petrolero, con las ventajas y desafíos que ello comporta.

Telma Luzzani, periodista y docente, intenta explicar el fenómeno de la Revolución Bolivariana mirándola en detalle y observando qué espacios defiende y qué intereses vulnera. Por esta vía, concluye que los ataques a Hugo Chávez se basa, por ejemplo, en su rechazo de la economía de mercado, la invasión a Irak y el Plan Colombia. Algunos de los temas analizados son: la nueva constitución, la política petrolera, las políticas sociales denominadas "misiones" y la doctrina militar, entre otros.

Venezuela is a land of striking beauty. Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world, plunges more than 3,000 feet in the Guiana Highlands. Lake Maracaibo, the largest lake in South America, sits in northwestern Venezuela. Eager readers will get their feet wet in this title that explores Venezuela's landscape, people, and heritage.

En «Venezuela: 1728-1830. Guipuzcoana e Independencia», el lector tendrá en sus manos el segundo tomo de la historia política que adelanta el autor. El anterior, «Venezuela: 1830 a nuestros días», alcanza cinco ediciones y más de 10 mil ejemplares vendidos, en constatación de la formidable acogida dada por los lectores. En este tomo se historia el siglo XVIII a partir de la creación de la Compañía Guipuzcoana, en 1728, dentro de las llamadas Reformas Borbónicas, que tanto vulneraron la autonomía alcanzada por los criollos en el seno del Cabildo durante la dinastía de los Austrias. Se le toma el pulso al país preindependentista, ya unificado alrededor de la Intendencia (1776) y de la Capitanía General (1777) y, además, experimentando una notable prosperidad agrícola. Luego, ya en el siglo XIX, se sigue la epopeya libertaria en sus vertientes civiles y militares, a partir de las abdicaciones de Bayona (1808) que dieron lugar al 19 de abril de 1810 y al 5 de julio de 1811, cuando nació la República de Venezuela. En esta investigación, la interpretación de los hechos y las figuras históricas difieren de la mayoría de las lecturas que han conducido a una petrificación ideológica de la historia nacional, enredada entre el endiosamiento de Bolívar y la sanción de cualquier análisis crítico. Este tomo articula una lectura moderna de las postrimerías de la Venezuela provincial, de la génesis fundacional republicana, de la guerra de independencia y del fracaso integracionista bolivariano de la República de Colombia, de la que Venezuela fue un Departamento, como Quito y Cundinamarca.

A collection of interviews with activists and other contributors, this compelling oral history details Venezuela’s bloodless uprising and reorganization. For the last decade, Venezuela’s “Bolivarian Revolution” has captured international attention. Poverty, inequality, and unemployment have all dropped, while health, education, and living standards have seen a commensurate rise—and this chronicle is the real, bottom-up account. The stories shed light on the complex facets within the revolution, detailing the change in such realities as community media to land reform, cooperatives to communal councils, and the labor movement to the Afro-Venezuelan network. Offering a different perspective than that of the international mainstream media, which has focused predominantly on Venezuela’s controversial president, Hugo Chavez, these examples of democracy in action illustrate the vast cultural, economic, and racial differences within the country—all of which have impacted the current South American state.
