Political Map of Venezuela VII Suicide of the Elephants? Venezuelan Decentralization between Partyarchy and Chavismo. Risky Business A motley crew of friends and colleagues has been involved in the processes of the present work. Even though these lines are the first, they were written last, only hours before sending the manuscript to Finland. In 1990 Mike Blondie Bonaparte convinced me to take a break from the Stockholm rock’n’roll scene of the time, which had hitherto dominated our lives, and introduced me to Venezuela. Since I was so well received there during my first stay, thanks to people like Enrique Aranguren and the late Michel Dagher, I remained in Venezuela several more weeks after Mike had returned to Sweden. My interest in Venezuela thus took root nearly one and a half decades ago, politically a most turbulent period, just after the Caracazo riots and the implementation of the decentralization reform. Even if I was then spending more time on the beaches of Caribe and Falcón than in political and academic institutions, it was impossible not to feel that Venezuela stood at a decisive crossroads. From those days in 1991 to the doctoral program in Latin American studies of the Ibero-American Center at Helsinki University, the road has indeed been stormy and continually changing in all respects. Since my first visit to Venezuela I have returned fifteen times, and I have dedicated the great majority of my academic papers and essays to various aspects of the political, social, economic and cultural development of the nation. Without the intention to neglect anybody, therefore risky business, I will start by expressing my gratitude to my Finnish tutors and great friends Jussi Pakkasvirta and Teivo Teivainen at the Ibero-American Center, as well as Martti Pärssinen, Ilkka Ruohonen, Pekka Valtonen, Jouni Pirttijärvi, Florencia Quesada, and other Finnish and international research colleagues. The constructive comments of Carsten Anckar and Tapio Raunio were of great value for the improvements of the study. Anne Cleaves is due special thanks for revisions of language and style, and Tina Löfgren for layout suggestions. At the Institute of Latin American Studies at Stockholm University, I have been supported since 1996, and my first and deepest thanks

  • Political Reelism: a Rhetorical Criticism of Reflection and Interpretation in Political Films
    POLITICAL REELISM: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF REFLECTION AND INTERPRETATION IN POLITICAL FILMS Jennifer Lee Walton A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2006 Committee: John J. Makay, Advisor Richard Gebhardt Graduate Faculty Representative John T. Warren Alberto Gonzalez ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to discuss how political campaigns and politicians have been depicted in films, and how the films function rhetorically through the use of core values. By interpreting real life, political films entertain us, perhaps satirically poking fun at familiar people and events. However, the filmmakers complete this form of entertainment through the careful integration of American values or through the absence of, or attack on those values. This study provides a rhetorical criticism of movies about national politics, with a primary focus on the value judgments, political consciousness and political implications surrounding the films Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), The Candidate (1972), The Contender (2000), Wag the Dog (1997), Power (1986), and Primary Colors (1998). iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank everyone who made this endeavor possible. First and foremost, I thank Doctor John J. Makay; my committee chair, for believing in me from the start, always encouraging me to do my best, and assuring me that I could do it. I could not have done it without you. I wish to thank my committee members, Doctors John Warren and Alberto Gonzalez, for all of your support and advice over the past months.

    THE TENSION BETWEEN DEVELOPMENTAL LAND USES AND THE CONSERVATION AREA DESIGNATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE CREOLES IN CATANIAPO RIVER BASIN, VENEZUELA A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Hector V. Blanco-Ponce June 2005 This thesis entitled THE TENSION BETWEEN DEVELOPMENTAL LAND USES AND THE CONSERVATION AREA DESIGNATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE CREOLES IN CATANIAPO RIVER BASIN, VENEZUELA BY HECTOR V. BLANCO-PONCE has been approved for the Program of Environmental Studies and the College of Arts and Sciences by Nancy Bain Professor of Geography Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Science BLANCO-PONCE, HECTOR V. M.S. June 2005. Environmental Studies The Tension Between Developmental Land Uses and the Conservation Area Designation: A Case Study of the Creoles in Cataniapo River Basin, Venezuela (100 pp.) Director of Thesis: Nancy Bain Shifting cultivation is a contributing activity of deforestation in the Venezuelan tropical forest. It involves slash-and burn techniques as a cheap mean for clearing forestland for agriculture that is not compatible for conservation area designation. This study focuses on a case-study of small farmers settled on a protected area in Venezuela and addresses the question of what are the social aspects of deforestation. The data used to explore these issues consist of a survey of 83 households in 2005. Overall, results indicate that origin, product markets, and off-farm labor opportunities influence deforestation decisions. Households with greater levels of education and off-farm labor income or wealth are relatively new to the area, and are more likely to use the land for residential or recreational purposes.

  • Estimación De Las Reservas De Aguas Subterráneas En El Centro De Recría Del Municipio Ezequiel Zamora Del Estado Cojedes*
    Reservas de aguas subterráneas en Cojedes / Paredes y Martínez ESTIMACIÓN DE LAS RESERVAS DE AGUAS SUBTERRÁNEAS EN EL CENTRO DE RECRÍA DEL MUNICIPIO EZEQUIEL ZAMORA DEL ESTADO COJEDES* Estimation of groundwater reserves in Cattle Breeding Center, Ezequiel Zamora Municipality, Cojedes State Franklin Paredes1 y Robert Martínez2 RESUMEN El crecimiento poblacional e industrial del municipio Ezequiel Zamora del estado Cojedes ocasionó un aumento de su demanda hídrica. Las fuentes subterráneas en el Centro de Recría San Carlos (CRSC), resultan una alternativa de aprovechamiento a corto plazo. Durante un año, se estimaron las reservas de aguas subterráneas renovables en el CRSC. La metodología comprendió: 1.- descripción del patrón de flujo dentro del acuífero; 2.- estimación de la transmisividad y el coeficiente de almacenamiento; 3.- descripción de la variación de la mesa freática; 4.- cálculo de la composición isotópica del agua en el acuífero e inferencia del origen de las recargas. Entre los resultados destacan: 1.- El acuífero cuenta con un volumen de reservas renovables de 38401 m3/año; 2.- La recarga ocurre al Norte del CRSC, y en menor grado, en el sector Aeropuerto (546332 E 1067141 N); 3.- El acuífero se interconecta hidráulicamente con el río Tirgua. Se recomienda reevaluar y ampliar este estudio a medida que se disponga de mayor información hidrogeológica, sobre todo, registros de niveles estáticos. Palabras clave: acuífero, Centro de Recría San Carlos, reserva hidrogeológica. ABSTRACT Population and industrial growth of Ezequiel Zamora municipality, Cojedes state, caused an increase in water demand. Groundwater sources in the San Carlos Breeding Centre (CRSC), are an alternative short-term use.

  • El Cacao En Los Valles Costeros De Aragua
    CACAO: CULTIVO Y PRODUCCIÓN EN LOS VALLES COSTEROS DE ARAGUA, SIGLOS XVIII-XX. Germán Pacheco Troconis Resumen. El cultivo del cacao y su proceso de producción en los valles costeros de Aragua, entre los siglos XVIII-XX, se localizan en el centro norte del país. Esta región en la época colonial perteneció a la jurisdicción de la Provincia de Caracas y constituyó una importante área productiva del cultivo, por la calidad de su producto conocido internacionalmente como cacao Caracas. Sin embargo, en el siglo XIX, ya se diferenciaban comercialmente en el mer- cado internacional algunos de sus tipos, identificados con localidades específicas, siendo de renombre el cacao Chuao y el Choroní. Este trabajo trata sobre el cultivo del cacao y el pro- ceso de producción en los valles costeros de Aragua, una zona localizada en la región centro norte del país, conformada por un conjunto de vaguadas marítimas, que en la época colonial pertenecían a la jurisdicción de la Provincia de Caracas. Palabras Clave: Venezuela, Aragua, Historia, Cacao, Comercio, Colonia, República. COCOA: cultivation and production in the coastal valleys of Aragua, XVIII-XX. Summary.
