Description

The emergence of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela has revived analysis of considered one of Latin The usa’s most enduring political traditions – populism. Yet Latin The usa has changed for the reason that heyday of Perón and Evita. Globalisation, implemented through harsh IMF inspired Structural Adjustment Programmes, has taken hold all over the region and democracy is supposedly the ‘only game on the town’. This book examines the phenomenon that may be Hugo Chávez within these contexts, assessing to what extent his government fits into established ideas on populism in Latin The usa. The book also provides a comprehensive and important analysis of Chávez’s emergence, his government’s social and economic policies, its foreign policy, in addition to assessing the charges of authoritarianism brought against him. Written in clear, accessible prose, the book carries debate beyond current polarised views at the Venezuelan president, to imagine the prospects of the new Bolivarian model surviving beyond its leader and progenitor, Hugo Chávez.
