What will a post-Chavez future look like, not only in Venezuela but also in the region? In this book, the author examines Chavez's highly controversial Bolivarian revolution, which has expanded beyond Venezuela to other countries in South America and whose sphere of influence also extends to Central America and the Caribbean. In this context, the author systematically shows how an emerging authoritarianism in the region plays an important role in defining the geo-political context of the region Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-255) and index Notes Print version record Subject Chávez Frías, Hugo -- Political and social views Chávez Frías, Hugo -- Influence SUBJECT Chávez Frías, Hugo -- Influence Chávez Frías, Hugo -- Political and social views Chávez Frías, Hugo fast Subject Anti-Americanism -- Latin America -- Latin America HISTORY -- Latin America -- South America.
