The emergence of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela has revived analysis of
one of Latin America's most enduring political traditions -
populism. Yet Latin America has changed since the heyday of Peron
and Evita. Globalisation, implemented through harsh IMF inspired
Structural Adjustment Programmes, has taken hold throughout the
region and democracy is supposedly the 'only game in town'. This
book examines the phenomenon that is Hugo Chavez within these
contexts, assessing to what extent his government fits into
established ideas on populism in Latin America. The book also
provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of Chavez's
emergence, his government's social and economic policies, its
foreign policy, as well as assessing the charges of
authoritarianism brought against him. Written in clear, accessible
prose, the book carries debate beyond current polarised views on
the Venezuelan president, to consider the prospects of the new
Bolivarian model surviving beyond its leader and progenitor, Hugo
Chavez. -- .
