Democracy, Revolution and Geopolitics in Latin America
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-70501-1 (ISBN)
This edited volume first contextualizes and explains the results of the last re-election of Hugo Chávez in terms of its geopolitical conditionings and implications. Contributors tackle Latin American geopolitics by analyzing Venezuelan foreign policy and the country's role in continental projects of supra-national integration. Contributors also examine electoral strategy and tactics in order to show how the two main candidates built their campaign on emotional grounds as much on rational ones. This will be connected to the investigation of new narratives of national identification in contemporary Venezuela and how they may have practical implications in the design of policies addressing issues such as indigenous rights, community media and national security.
Compiling state-of-the-art research on Latin American and Venezuelan politics, this book will appeal to academics and professionals who specialize in Latin American studies, international relations, democracy, and indigenous peoples.
Luis Fernando Angosto-Ferrández has a multidisciplinary background in anthropology and political science and currently lectures in anthropology and Latin American studies at the University of Sydney.

Among his recent publications is Everlasting Countdowns: Race, Ethnicity and National Censuses in Latin American States (coedited with Sabine Kradolfer).
