Dragon in the Tropics: Venezuela and the Legacy of Hugo Chavez (Latin America Initiative) - Softcover
Synopsis
This new and expanded edition of Dragon in the Tropics the widely acclaimed account of how president Hugo Chávez (1999 2013) revamped Venezuela’s political economy examines the electoral decline of Chavismo after Chavez’s death and the policies adopted by his successor, Nicolás Maduro, to cope with the economic chaos inherited from previous radical populist policies. Corrales and Penfold argue that Maduro has had to struggle with the inherent contradictions of a large and heterogeneous social coalition, a declining oil sector, the strength of entrenched military interests, and fewer resources to appease international allies, which have strenghtened the autocratic features of an already consolidated hybrid regime. In examining the new political realities of Venezuela, the authors offer lessons on the dynamics of succession in hybrid regimes. This book is a must-read for scholars and analysts of Latin America.
