This book examines the process of dismantling the democratic
institutions and protections in Venezuela under the Hugo Chavez
regime. The actions of the Chavez government have influenced
similar processes and undemocratic maneuverings in Ecuador,
Bolivia, and Honduras. Since the election of Hugo Chavez as
president of Venezuela in 1998, a sinister form of nationalistic
authoritarianism has arisen at the expense of long-established
democratic standards. During the past decade, the 1999 Venezuelan
Constitution has been systematically attacked by all branches of
the Chavez government, particularly by the Supreme Tribunal of
Justice, which has legitimized the Chavez-ordered constitutional
violations. The Chavez regime has purposely defrauded the
Constitution and severely restricted representative government, all
in the name of a supposedly participatory democracy controlled by a
popularly supported central government. This volume illustrates how
an authoritarian, nondemocratic government has been established in
Venezuela a government lacking all the essential elements of a true
democracy as defined by the 2001 Inter-American Democratic Charter.
