Changing Venezuela by Taking Power: The History and Policies of the Chavez Government

Since coming to power in 1998, the Chavez government has inspired both fierce internal debate and horror amongst Western governments accustomed to counting on an obeisant regime in the oil-rich state. In this rich and resourceful study, Greg Wilpert exposes the self-serving logic behind much middle-class opposition to Venezuelaâ€™s elected leader, and explains the real reason for their alarm. He argues that the Chavez government has instituted one of the worldâ€™s most progressive constitutions, but warns that they have yet to overcome the dangerous specters of the countryâ€™s past.
