Explaining Chavismo
Explaining Chavismo: The Unexpected Alliance of Radical Leftists and the Military in Venezuela under Hugo Chávez by Javier Corrales Associate Professor of Political Science Amherst College Amherst, MA 01002 [email protected] March 2010 1 Knowing that Venezuela experienced a profound case of growth collapse in the 1980s and 1990s is perhaps enough to understand why Venezuela experienced regime change late in the 1990s. Most political scientists agree with Przeworski et al. (2000) that severe economic crises jeopardize not just the incumbents, but often the very continuity of democratic politics in non-rich countries. However, knowledge of Venezuela’s growth collapse is not sufficient to understand why political change went in the direction of chavismo. By chavismo I mean the political regime established by Hugo Chávez Frías after 1999. Scholars who study Venezuelan politics disagree about the best label to describe the Hugo Chávez administration (1999-present): personalistic, popular, populist, pro-poor, revolutionary, participatory, socialist, Castroite, fascist, competitive authoritarian, soft- authoritarian, third-world oriented, hybrid, statist, polarizing, oil-addicted, ceasaristic, counter-hegemonic, a sort of Latin American Milošević, even political ―carnivour.‖ But there is nonetheless agreement that, at the very least, chavismo consists of a political alliance of radical-leftist civilians and the military (Ellner 2001:9). Chávez has received most political advice from, and staffed his government with, individuals who have an extreme-leftist past, a military background, or both. The Chávez movement is, if nothing else, a marriage of radicals and officers. And while there is no agreement on how undemocratic the regime has become, there is virtual agreement that chavismo is far from liberal democracy. -

Lau* The Gracias al Sacar, a fascinating and seemingly inconceivable practice in eighteenth century colonial Venezuela, allowed certain individuals of mixed Black and White ancestry to purchase "Whiteness" from their King. The author exposes the irony of this system, developed in a society obsessed with "natural" ordering that labeled individuals according to their precise racial ancestry. While recognizing that the Gracias al Sacar provided opportunities for advancement and an avenue for material and social struggle, the author argues that it also justified the persistence of racial hierarchy. -

But by the end of that century, Lombards coming from Northern Italy had conquered most of the peninsula, with Byzantium retaining only Calabria and Sicily. From the middle of the 9th century, the Aghlabid Dynasty of Ifrîquya (the original name of Eastern Maghreb) raided Sicily to take possession of the island. A new Byzantine offensive at the end of the century took back most of the lost territories in Apulia and Calabria and established Bari as the new provincial capital. Lombard territories further north were broken down between three cities led by princes: Capua, Salerno, and Benevento. Further east, Italian duchies of Naples, Amalfi, and Gaeta tried to keep their autonomy through successive alliances with the various regional powers to try and maintain their commercial interests. Ethnic struggles in Sicily between Arabs and Berbers on the one side, and various dynasties on the other side, led to power fragmentation: The island is divided between four rival military factions at the beginning of the 11th century. Beyond its natural boundaries, Southern Italy had to cope with two external powers which were looking to expel Byzantium from what they considered was part of their area of influence: the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire. -

SITUATION OF VENEZUELANS WHO HAVE RETURNED AND ARE TRYING TO RETURN TO THEIR COUNTRY IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19 The absence of a democratic system, systematic human rights violations, food shortages, precarious health systems, the electricity crisis, widespread violence and economic collapse are some of the main causes that have led to more than 5.200.000 Venezuelans1, (including pregnant women, children, adolescents, people with disabilities and the elderly) being forced to flee their country since 2015. The Venezuelan migration crisis has generated enormous challenges for transit and receiving countries which, with the support of the international community and civil society organizations, have made every effort to guarantee the free enjoyment and exercise of the human rights of Venezuelan migrants and refugees, observing jus cogens and working to ensure the full dignity and non-discrimination of this population, which is in a situation of manifest weakness. -

CORNELL LAW QUARTERLY VoLtmm 38 WIN mR, 1953 NUMBER 2 THE EXPERT WITNESS AND THE PROOF OF FOREIGN LAW Otto C. Sommerich* and Benjamin Busch* I. INTRODUCTION Few lawyers, scholars or students, are exempt from the fascination that comes from a glimpse into the legal systems of other nations or communities, revealed by the reading of decisions dealing with that subject. It is a truism that the history of a civilization is the history of its laws. A survey of legal decisions based on foreign law does not, however, tell the whole story, for these decisions generally discuss the laws that have already been pleaded and proved, without indicating the rocky and treacherous course that the legal practitioners must have traveled before these laws came within the technical cognizance of the court. Today, more than at any other time in our legal history, it is neces- sary for each practicing lawyer 'to have a full appreciation of the technical aspects of foreign law in litigation. -
Organized Crime and Electoral Outcomes. Evidence from Sicily at the Turn of the XXI Century
Organized Crime and Electoral Outcomes. Evidence from Sicily at the Turn of the XXI Century Paolo Buonanno,∗ Giovanni Prarolo (corresponding author),y Paolo Vaninz November 4, 2015 Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between Sicilian mafia and politics by fo- cusing on municipality-level results of national political elections. It exploits the fact that in the early 1990s the Italian party system collapsed, new parties emerged and mafia families had to look for new political allies. It presents evidence, based on disaggregated data from the Italian region of Sicily, that between 1994 and 2013 Silvio Berlusconi’s party, Forza Italia, obtained higher vote shares at national elec- tions in municipalities plagued by mafia. The result is robust to the use of different measures of mafia presence, both contemporary and historical, to the inclusion of different sets of controls and to spatial analysis. Instrumenting mafia’s presence by determinants of its early diffusion in the late XIX century suggests that the correla- tion reflects a causal link.

Introduction The relationship between mafia and politics is a crucial but empirically under-investigated issue. In this paper we explore the connection between mafia presence and party vote shares at national political elections, employing municipality level data from the mafia-plagued Italian region of Sicily. -

RENVOI IN NEW YORK AND ELSEWHERE JOHN D. PALCONBRIDGE* I. Introduction: Two New York Cases In re Tallmadge1 related to the mode of distribution of the residuary estate of one Chadwick. The report of Winthrop, referee, which was confirmed by the Surrogate's Court of New York County, found that "the 'renvoi' is no part of New York law,"2 whereas thirty-one years later in In re Schneider's Estate it was held by Frankenthaler, Sur- rogate, also in the Surrogate's Court of New York County, that the "broad assertion in Matter of Tallmadge, supra, that the renvoi prin- ciple is not applicable in New York is not in accord with the earlier or later cases. The precise limits of its applicability are as yet un- defined." 3 The mutually irreconcilable, general expressions of opinion by two different judges of the Surrogate's Court of New York County in cases separated widely in point of time and differing widely in their circumstances have at least the merit of directing attention again to the perennially troublesome problem of the renvoi in the conflict of laws. -
