Why are some leaders more prone to implement sustainable development policies than others, and does the leaders' political orientation affect such decision-making? Leaders are often faced with constraints that make them choose policies that do not necessarily lead to sustainability from an ecological point of view. This thesis addresses these issues by examining two case studies that involve an analysis of the sustainable development policies implemented by President Lula in Brazil and President Chavez in Venezuelaand the constraints that have hindered them in doing so. 2 ABSTRACT 2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 4 METHODOLOGY 5 REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE 8 Sustainable Development 8 Populism I I POLICY SIGNIFICANCE 13 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT POLICIES 14 OUTLINE 16 CHAPTER 2. -

DIARIO EN RUINAS (1998-2017) Ana Teresa Torres 1 A Isabel y Gastón Miguel, que vivieron en Venezuela la primera parte de su vida, y a Julio, Ana y Alejandro, desde un país que no conocen. 2 El momento cuando, después de muchos años de intenso trabajo y un largo viaje, te paras en el centro de tu habitación, casa, terreno, territorio, isla, país, sabiendo al fin cómo llegaste allí, y dices, esto me pertenece, es el mismo momento en que los árboles dejan de rodearte con sus suaves brazos, los pájaros recuperan su lenguaje, los acantilados se agrietan y colapsan, el aire se retira de ti como una ola y no puedes respirar. No, susurran. No tienes nada. Fuiste de visita una y otra vez para subir la cuesta, plantar la bandera, lanzar una proclama. Nunca te pertenecimos. Nunca nos fundaste. Siempre fue al revés. El momento, Margaret Atwood. 3 Índice Diario de la revolución 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Referencias 4 Abreviaturas Anexo I: artículos Anexo II: documentos. 5 Diario de la revolución Durante todos estos años me he recriminado no haber llevado un diario de los acontecimientos que se fueron sucediendo en Venezuela desde la instalación de la revolución bolivariana en 1998, pero me falta la paciencia y la rutina que exige el diarismo y no logro extraer de cada día, ni siquiera con una mínima continuidad, alguna reflexión que me parezca meritoria de ser consignada. Ya es tarde para lamentarlo, lo que sigue a continuación son, pues, las ruinas de un diario nunca escrito o un diario extraído de las ruinas, una suerte de testimonio elaborado a partir de la memoria y de los documentos. -
Antipoverty Programmes in Venezuela
Jnl Soc. Pol. (2011), 40, 4, 835–852 C Cambridge University Press 2011 doi:10.1017/S0047279411000018 Antipoverty Programmes in Venezuela ANNE DAGUERRE The Business School, Middlesex University, Hendon, London NW4 4BT, email: [email protected] Abstract This article analyses Venezuelan antipoverty programmes under the presidency of Hugo Chavez,´ the leader of the ‘Bolivarian Revolution’ (1998–present).Supportforpoorpeoplehas become the government’s trademark since the creation in 2002–03 of a series of emergency social programmes, the Missions. These programmes attend to the basic needs of low-income individuals in terms of nutrition, health and education. The Missions are characterised by a pattern of institutional bypassing which makes their long-term institutionalisation difficult. Do the Missions really introduce a break with previous social policies? To answer this question, we first analyse the evolution of the Venezuelan social state. Second, we review the development of the Missions, especially the Mission Vuelvan Caras,nowChe Guevara, an active labour market programme. Third, we provide an assessment of the Social Missions and identify ruptures and continuities with past social assistance policies. The main contention is that the Missions exhibit a strong pattern of path dependency, despite the ideological and discursive ruptures that have attended the presidency of Hugo Chavez.´ Introduction This article investigates the extent to which antipoverty programmes known as the Social Missions in Hugo Chavez’s´ Venezuela represent a real rupture in Venezuelan social policies. Venezuela, like most Latin American countries, possesses a system of social protection that is both hybrid and highly fragmented. Social security is contributory based and linked to occupational status, with high coverage for workers in the public sector and almost no coverage for workers in the informal economy. -

Crisis in Venezuela: Will Anybody Support Democracy? https://www.e-ir.info/2014/03/24/crisis-in-venezuela-will-anybody-support-democracy/ NICOLAS FALOMIR LOCKHART, MAR 24 2014 Since February 12th 2014, popular demonstrations both in favor of and against the government have been taking place in Venezuela. The protests started as a student expression but they were rapidly taken up by the opposition seeking to channel the general dissatisfaction of society with high costs of living and insecurity. In some cases, violence took over these events. As a result, nearly 30 people, including demonstrators – both in favor of and against the government – and law enforcement agents, have already died and nearly 200 people remain detained. In particular, the leader of the hard-right wing opposition, Leopoldo Lopez, has been detained since February 18th accused of instigation to commit crimes and unlawful assemblies and riots. The situation is a great worry for the government whose strength depends mainly on popular support, especially among the less well off. The government has denounced a plot between the “imperialist” government of the US and the “fascist” right opposition. As a result, it has expelled three US diplomatic officers alleging their support of anti-government demonstrations. The Emergence of Chavism and Maduro’s Taking Office While dictatorship spread all over Latin America during the second half of the 20th century, Venezuela was one of the rare exceptions where democracy remained in place. -

Venezuela: Issues for Congress
Venezuela: Issues for Congress Mark P. Sullivan Specialist in Latin American Affairs January 10, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40938 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Venezuela: Issues for Congress Summary Under the rule of populist President Hugo Chávez, first elected in 1998, Venezuela has undergone enormous political changes, with a new constitution and unicameral legislature, and even a new name for the country, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Human rights organizations have expressed concerns about the deterioration of democratic institutions and threats to freedom of expression under the Chávez government. President Chávez won reelection to another six-year term on October 7, 2012, by a margin of 11%, capturing about 55% of the vote compared to 44% for opposition candidate Henrique Capriles. On December 11, 2012, however, Chávez faced a fourth difficult operation in Cuba for an undisclosed form of cancer that has raised questions about Venezuela’s political future. Because of significant health complications, Vice President Nicolás Maduro announced on January 8, 2013, that President Chávez would not be sworn into office on January 10 as planned, but that he would be sworn into office at a later date, a decision supported by Venezuela’s Supreme Court. Looking ahead, if President Chávez does not recover, the Constitution calls for a new election to be held within 30 days if the president dies or is incapacitated during the first four years of his term. U.S. Policy The United States traditionally has had close relations with Venezuela, a major supplier of foreign oil, but there has been friction in relations under the Chávez government. -
