Because of my bemba (big mouth), because of my curly hair. And I'm so proud to have this mouth and hair because it's African" (Nzamba). In a country with legacies of slavery and colonialism, it seems evident that, throughout history, politicians would address the topic of racial discrimination. However, this comment by President Chávez was very uncommon for a Venezuelan politician.

  • Russian-Venezuelan Relations at a Crossroads Vladimir Rouvinski*
    Latin American Program | Kennan Institute | February 2019 President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela receives a book in Russian about Hugo Chávez from President Vladimir Putin of Russia. Photo by www.kremlin.ru / Creative Commons 4.0 Russian-Venezuelan Relations at a Crossroads Vladimir Rouvinski* Russia’s foreign policy is part of a complex tapestry intended to bolster its current president, Vladimir Putin. Moscow’s relations with Venezuela are a prime example of this strategy. Russian engagement with the Bolivarian Republic demonstrates Vladimir Putin’s global ambitions to recruit geographically distant nations as partners in constructing a new multipolar, anti-U.S. world order. The Russian government has learned to bolster domestic support for Putin at home by taking advantage of situations unfolding in the Russian “far abroad” as elements of a political spectacle portraying Russia’s return as a global power. Russia’s relationship with Venezuela is also a story of missed business opportunities, multi-million dollar risky investments, dubious personal enrichment, and vast corruption. It also features denials, by a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, of massive human rights violations in Venezuela in the name of “21st Century Socialism.” Three key aspects of interaction between Moscow and Caracas are essential to understand the Russia’s policy toward the region and Venezuela in particular. First is Russia’s “return” to Latin America toward the end of the 1990s and subsequent events LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM leading to the present challenges. Second is the role of political priorities rather than business interests that comprise the true guiding principles of the Russian involvement in the key sectors of the Venezuelan economy such as oil and gas.

  • Community Security in Caracas: the Collective Action of Foundation Alexis Vive
    COMMUNITY SECURITY IN CARACAS: THE COLLECTIVE ACTION OF FOUNDATION ALEXIS VIVE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Latin American Studies By Jonathan Weinstock, B.A. Washington, DC August 25, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Jonathan Weinstock All Rights Reserved ii COMMUNITY SECURITY IN CARACAS: THE COLLECTIVE ACTION OF FOUNDATION ALEXIS VIVE Jonathan Weinstock, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Marc W Chernick, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis is divided into two arguments. The first part is an argument for community security: a community-based vision of human security, which conflates development and personal security. Social movements then animate community security, addressing local problems and creating endogenous solutions. Arturo Escobar’s work on post-development theory and Raúl Zibechi’s new social movements as territories in resistance best explains this phenomenon. At the community level, I utilize Stephen Schneider’s work on community crime prevention and organic mobilization as complex and difficult to maintain. With this lens, I establish an analytical framework for community security movements based on the themes of identity, praxis, constituency and autonomy. Examinations on gender relations, networks, violence and production are also weaved into the analysis. The second part is an argument that a Caracas (Venezuela) based group is a community security movement and that this analytical framework is best fitted for understanding them. Though Caracas is among the most insecure and politically turbulent cities in Latin America, small pockets of peace exist in working class neighborhoods.

  • July 17, 2015 Mr. Nicolás Maduro Moros President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Miraflores Palace Caracas. Mr. Preside
    July 17, 2015 Mr. Nicolás Maduro Moros President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Miraflores Palace Caracas. Mr. President, The Ibero-American ex-presidents signatories of the Declaration of Panama (April 9, 2015) and the Declaration of Caracas (May 29, 2015), by this letter, express our satisfaction with the call made by the National Electoral Council of Venezuela (CNE in Spanish) for holding elections to the National Assembly on 6 December. Respect to the constitutional mandate is not only essential to the functioning of democracy and the rule of law. Furthermore, in the case of Venezuela, it is the only way to resolve the serious political and social disagreements that divide the country and encourage violence. We believe that full democracy is essential to ensure the freedom and fundamental rights of pe0ple, and knowing the serious political, economic and rights restrictions affecting Venezuela crisis, we demand, as stated in the Declaration of Panamá, that the upcoming elections are free, fair and impartial. Based on our recognized democratic trajectories, we express our willingness to work as observers for these elections are held in a climate of trust and full transparency to allow not only the doubts of the international community, but above all, ease the severe crisis in the Venezuelan people, the last custodian of national sovereignty. In order that the election could be recognized as fair, free and competitive, we consider some essential preconditions as follows: 1. The absolute impartiality of the Electoral Branch and verification by independent observers that the electronic technology used in the electoral process is inviolable.

It is the world’s largest humanitarian organization and its millions of volunteers are active in 178 countries. For more information: www.ifrc.org Appeal No. 01.22/2002 Appeal Target: CHF 4,619,036 Programme Update No. 2; Period covered: 1 April - 30 June 2002; last Programme Update (No. 1) issued 21 May 2002 IN BRIEF Appeal coverage: 47.2% Related Appeals: 01.18/2002: Pan American Disaster Response Unit Outstanding needs: 2,439,777 Summary: Heavy rains and flooding occurred in Chile and Colombia in May and June; the response actions carried out by the Chilean Red Cross enhanced relations with the governmental national emergency office. The Argentine Red Cross is implementing the social crisis operation which has also boosted the change process taking place within the National Society. During the reporting period, funding was secured to continue the Andean community based disaster preparedness project in Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. Ten community micro projects were identified within the Camalote programme aimed at reducing vulnerability, and micro projects were also formulated in the framework of the Amazonico programme which promotes improved health conditions in vulnerable communities; identification of organizational development projects to take place in parallel at branch level also took place. An information officer was recruited during the reporting period and, as a result, information and advocacy initiatives are being promoted, including the successful launch of the World Disaster Report. The regional disaster preparedness delegate is now based in Buenos Aires and candidates are urgently sought for the position of organizational development delegate, given the assignment of the former delegate as liaison delegate in Brazil.

  • Venezuela's Murdoch
    review Pablo Bachelet, Gustavo Cisneros: un empresario global Organización Cisneros: Caracas 2004 and Planeta: Barcelona 2004, €20, hardback 319 pp, 84 08 04958 5 Richard Gott VENEZUELA’S MURDOCH With a fortune of more than $4 billion, Gustavo Cisneros likes to promote the notion of himself as the wealthiest man in Latin America and the most powerful media baron of the continent, a Latino equivalent to Murdoch or Berlusconi. Since 1961 the Organización Cisneros has owned Venevisión, the main commercial tv channel in Venezuela—best known abroad for its rabid opposition to Chávez during the 2002 coup, and ceaseless denunci- ation of his supporters as ‘mobs’ and ‘monkeys’. From the 1980s he has extended his empire across Latin America to include Chile’s Chilevisión and Colombia’s Caracol tv, with a major stake in DirecTV Latin America, whose satellite beams a diet of sport, game-shows, telenovelas and predigested news to twenty Latin American countries. He also has a lucrative share in Univisión, the main Spanish-language channel for the United States, and a joint Latin American internet connection venture with aol-TimeWarner. Like many wealthy Latin Americans, Cisneros is a chameleon when it comes to nationality. Nominally a Venezuelan—he was born in Caracas in 1945, to an entrepreneurial Cuban father and Venezuelan mother—he was educated and served his media apprenticeship in the us. But he is also a citizen of Spain, at the personal request of King Juan Carlos; an American in New York, a Cuban in Miami, and a Dominican in the Dominican Republic, where his pricipal base—the Casa Bonita, close to the La Ramona beach resort—is within a golfer’s swing of the retreats of other billionaires of Cuban extraction, grown rich on the profits of sugar, rum and real estate.
