Unraveling of Representative Democracy in Venezuela

Since the 1950s, Venezuela has been one of the most stable democracies in Latin America. In the '90s, however, Hugo Chavez precipitated a rapid breakdown of democracy. This book addresses the reason for this rapid decline by looking at such factors as the economy, elites and social classes, workers, and the rootedness of democracy. Though focusing on Venezuela, this case study has implication for more recent democracies elsewhere.Myers, David J. is the author of 'Unraveling of Representative Democracy in Venezuela ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780801884283 and ISBN 0801884284.
