Venezuela's Petro-Diplomacy: Hugo Chávez's Foreign Policy

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (15881 ratings)

Description:Over the last decade, Venezuela has exerted an influence on the Western Hemisphere, and on global international relations, well beyond what one might expect from a country of 26.5 million people. In considering the reasons for this influence, one must take into account the country's vast petroleum deposits. The wealth these generate, traditionally used to finance national priorities, more recently has been heavily deployed to bolster Venezuela's ambitious "Bolivarian" foreign policy.Since coming to power in 1999, President Hugo Chávez has used the windfall of high oil prices to remake Venezuela internally along the model of twenty-first-century socialism and, even more audaciously, to rewrite global relations by directly challenging U.S. influence.The contributors to this volume offer fresh, authoritative insights into a wide array of questions hanging over Venezuelan foreign policy and the leadership of the maverick president. While revenue from petroleum exports has swelled national coffers and allowed the expansion of public programs and the extension of aid to foreign countries, bolstering Chávez's popularity at home and abroad, the volatility of petroleum prices and the neglect of other export industries have the potential to render Chávez's-and Venezuela's-power tenuous.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
