Hugo Chavez won re-election in the 2012 Venezuelan presidential
election, despite a closer margin between candidates than in
previous elections. The results were puzzling for those who
believed that Chavez's government had long ago reached its limits,
while Chavez's supporters were struck by the growth of the
opposition vote. Thus understanding the Venezuelan election of 2012
has proved to be challenging, with various recent studies focused
upon it. Luis F. Angosto Ferrandez's book advances two ideas not
previously discussed: the relationship between electoral behavior
in Venezuela and contemporary Latin American geopolitics, and the
way that relationship is projected through the candidates' appeal
to narratives that situate Venezuela at the core of a heroic Latin
American tradition and of a new regional process of integration.
This edited volume first contextualizes and explains the results of
the last re-election of Hugo Chavez in terms of its geopolitical
conditionings and implications. Contributors tackle Latin American
geopolitics by analyzing Venezuelan foreign policy and the
country's role in continental projects of supra-national
integration. Contributors also examine electoral strategy and
tactics in order to show how the two main candidates built their
campaign on emotional grounds as much on rational ones. This will
be connected to the investigation of new narratives of national
identification in contemporary Venezuela and how they may have
practical implications in the design of policies addressing issues
such as indigenous rights, community media and national security.
Compiling state-of-the-art research on Latin American and
Venezuelan politics, this book will appeal to academics and
professionals who specialize in Latin American studies,
international relations, democracy, and indigenous peoples.
