Venezuela: Revolution in the Land of Oil

Since the accession of Chavez to power in Venezuela in 1999, this country has crystallized ideological passions. Latin American and European politicians consider Venezuela to be either a model or the antithesis of the model. But do we really know what the Chavista Revolution is?

Our project consists of historical research, but also an immersion into the daily life of Venezuelans. A necessary starting point to understand the concrete application of this political model. We interview a panel of 4 Venezuelans representing society today and we identify the socio-political origins and the major stages in the construction of Chavismo.
