Park Jung-won: Venezuela and Chavez

It's impossible to speak of Venezuela in the 21st century without Chaves. And not only that, Chabes has made Venezuela a global center of interest. New liberalism and globalization were directly challenged and the American-centered world order denied, claiming the identity blockification and resource nationalism of Latin America. It has made the oil industry a national oil industry, and it has contributed to the decline of poverty and the increase in education. Venezuela, on the other hand, has become class and racially polarized, and hostility between its supporters and those who do not support Chaves has become even worse. Chabes' 21st-century socialistic experiment, which was first elected president in 1998 and died of cancer in 2013, seems to have failed him since he died. It may not be possible to decide whether to bring the responsibility of failure to the domestic and external economic environment, or to the successor, the Maduro. The book traces the efforts of a Don Quixote named Chabes to new liberalism on Venezuelan politics, social and culture. This will show you the multi-party side of Chaves' success and failure and his legacy.
