Описание: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the implementation, functioning, and impact of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), cornerstone of Venezuelan foreign policy and standard-bearer of “postneoliberal” regionalism during the “Left Turn” in Latin America and the Caribbean (1998-2016). It reveals that cooperation via ALBA’s regionalised social missions, state multinationals, development bank, People’s Trade Agreement, SUCRE virtual currency, and Petrocaribe soft-loan scheme has often been hampered by complexity and conflict between the national political economies of Ecuador, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, and especially Venezuela. Shared commitments to endogenous development, autonomy within mutlipolarity, and novel sources of legitimacy are undermined by serious deficiencies in control and accountability, which stem largely from the defining influence of Venezuela’s dysfunctional economy and governance. This dual dependency on Venezuela leaves the future of ALBA hanging in the balance.
Описание: A collective biography of the veterans of the battle of El Santuario (1829), this book uses the untold stories of ordinary lives to examine the history of the imperial conflicts that shaped politics and society in Colombia and Venezuela after independence from colonial rule.
Описание: Long before sea power, the Panama Canal, and petroleum drew the world`s attention to the Caribbean coast, United States leaders recognized Venezuela`s potential as the linchpin of the Caribbean`s southern rim. In Venezuela and the United States, Judith Ewell provides a historical analysis of the main themes and directions of US-Venezuelan relations from the early 1800s to the present.
Описание: This book examines the uneasy diplomatic relations between the United States and Venezuela during the First World War. The author uses archival materials, newspapers, and other sources to argue that the two nations sought to prevent the European war from spreading to the Western Hemisphere.
For several decades of the twentieth century, Venezuela enjoyed a prolonged period of low inflation, high growth, and social progress. During those years, a fixed-exchange-rate policy was followed that could be characterized as highly successful. However, things changed radically beginning in the mid-1970s. The economy's heavy dependence on oil revenue made it extremely vulnerable, at the mercy of volatile international petroleum prices.
In this period of economic swings, which has been underway for more than 45 years, multiple exchange-rate policies have been implemented. They have had decisive impacts on the country's economic, social, political, and institutional conditions. That has made the Venezuelan economy a foreign-exchange experimentation lab.
This book discusses the characteristics of these different foreign exchange policies, their evolution, their effectiveness, and the consequences they have brought about. The conclusions focus on what might be the most suitable foreign-exchange policy for Venezuela and the right way forward to getting the country out of the disarray it finds itself in today.
*****
This book is destined to be a must-read for university study programs everywhere. It will enrich the libraries of economics schools, research centers, governments, companies, and international organizations. I have no doubt that it will be useful, not only for Venezuelans but also for analysts and academics worldwide. And for those for whom the Venezuelan phenomenon produces great perplexity (for, how did such a rich country become so poor?), it is an invaluable guide to mistakes to be avoided.

Описание: The Road to OPEC is the story of the fiery debates among U.S. oil companies, the Department of State, and the Venezuelan government over oil policies-clashes that led Venezuela to establish OPEC and to nationalize U.S.-owned properties.
Oil makes up one-third of Venezuela's entire GDP, and the United States is far and away Venezuela's largest trading partner. Relations between Venezuela and the United States, traditionally close for most of the last two centuries, began to fray as the end of the Cold War altered the international environment.
U.S.-Venezuela Relations since the 1990s explores relations between these two countries since 1999, when Hugo Chavez came to office and proceeded to change Venezuela's historical relation with the United States and other democracies. The authors analyze the reasons for rising bilateral conflict, the decision-making process in Venezuela, the role played by public and private actors in shaping foreign policy, the role of other powers such as China, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia in shaping U.S.-Venezuelan relations, the role of Venezuela in Cuba and Colombia, and the impact of broader international dynamics in the bi-lateral relations.
