Synopsis

Under the rule of Hugo Chavez, Venezuela has undergone enormous political changes, with a new constitution and unicameral legislature, and even a new name for the country, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. However, human rights organizations have expressed concerns about the deterioration of democratic institutions and threats to freedom of expression under the Chavez government. This book explores the challenges which face Chavez and Venezuela in the wake of the president's 2012 election victory.
