The Reach and Limits of Venezuela´s Bolivarian Project: Theoretical and Empirical Debate

Sat, May 28, 2:30 to 4:00pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This panel includes scholarship from a variety of perspectives that seeks to examine the reach, limits and particular character of Venezuela’s Bolivarian project. The theoretical underpinnings of this project are relevant for understanding its direction. But contingent historical circumstances have affected its direction and made it quite different from what was originally intended, and quite different from other left governing projects in the region. Despite serious economic, social and political conflict, the Venezuelan government is moving forward with its push for a Communal State. Here as well, whether this leads to a genuinely participatory democracy or a new form of exclusion is yet to be seen.
