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.

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.

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.

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.

Venezuela is a long-overlooked paradise for backpackers, adventure travellers and also hikers, climbers, rafters and birders. From horse-trekking in the Andes to choosing a desert island on which to be ‘marooned', travellers will find everything they need in this new edition. Packed with unparalleled information on hotel and restaurant options, Bradt's Venezuela pays particular attention to national parks and wild areas, but includes plenty of hip urban information too.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Venezuela had one of the poorest economies in Latin America, but by 1970 it had become the richest country in the region and one of the twenty richest countries in the world, ahead of countries such as Greece, Israel, and Spain. Between 1978 and 2001, however, Venezuela’s economy went sharply in reverse, with non-oil GDP declining by almost 19 percent and oil GDP by an astonishing 65 percent. What accounts for this drastic turnabout? The editors of Venezuela Before Chávez, who each played a policymaking role in the country’s economy during the past two decades, have brought together a group of economists and political scientists to examine systematically the impact of a wide range of factors affecting the economy’s collapse, from the cost of labor regulation and the development of financial markets to the weakening of democratic governance and the politics of decisions about industrial policy. Aside from the editors, the contributors are Omar Bello, Adriana Bermúdez, Matías Braun, Javier Corrales, Jonathan Di John, Rafael Di Tella, Javier Donna, Samuel Freije, Dan Levy, Robert MacCulloch, Osmel Manzano, Francisco Monaldi, María Antonia Moreno, Daniel Ortega, Michael Penfold, José Pineda, Lant Pritchett, Cameron A. Shelton, and Dean Yang.
