Will Popular Power Survive
Learning from Venezuela’s Missteps in Building Urban Popular Power
Efforts towards so-called participatory democracy, deepening of democracy, or participation to include those excluded locally or even nationally have been a key element in the discourse of progress
Polarization, Participatory Democracy, and Democratic Erosion in Venezuela's Twenty-First Century Socialism
This article analyzes the emergence and consolidation of political polarization in Venezuela during the so-called Bolivarian Revolution, led by Hugo Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro from 1999 to 2018. We also examine the conditions under which polarization in Venezuela became pernicious, and contributed to erosion of democracy. Given the underlying class cleavages that were associated with pro- and anti- Chavista identities, we argue that …
Digital political radical
This coherent and provocative piece of work alerts and raises important questions to understand the confluence of the Digital–Political–Radical in neoliberal societies. It tells about the role of t
Organizaciones sociales y conflictos sociopolíticos en una sociedad polarizada
Los analistas y estudiosos de la sociedad civil organizada han tendido a identificarla con los valores positivos de la pluralidad, tolerancia, civilidad y democracia. Sin embargo, un análisis de los procesos de polarización sociopolítica existentes en Venezuela indica que dentro de la heterogeneidad ideológica, política, cultural y de clases sociales que la caracterizan pueden desarrollarse tanto proyectos democráticos como proyectos e imaginario…
Crisis, descentralización y gobernabilidad urbana en el área metropolitana de Caracas
El proceso de reforma política y descentralización venezolano fueron interpretados como elementos necesarios para profundizar la democracia en este país. Sin embargo, la crisis econónica y lo incompleto del proceso de descentralización han significado a la larga un descenso en el nivel de gobernabilidad general. En este contexto, la autora analiza el caso del área metropolitana de Caracas y explica las peculiaridades de la gobernabilidad urbana e…
Democracia y dilema eficiencia-equidad en la descentralización local en Venezuela
La descentralización es uno de los mecanismos mediante el cual el Estado central transfiere competencias políticas y administrativas a las localidades, ya sea con la finalidad de fortalecer la participación política, lograr eficiencia estatal o para buscar la gobernabilidad. En algunos países latinoamericanos como Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Brasil, Costa Rica se han impulado procesos de descentralización con el fin de racionalizar la actividad e…
Efectos del modelo de gestión local en la eficiencia y legitimidad política
En el presente artículo se hace un análisis de los efectos del modelo de gestión descentralizado a nivel local del municipio Chacao sobre la eficiencia, la cual es entendida como el logro de los fines políticos; también se evalúa el efecto de la eficiencia sobre la legitimidad política y la gobernabilidad democrática. Se encontró que el modelo de gestión más eficiente o el que logra la mayor legitimidad o aceptación política no es el de tipo técn…
The Democratization of Democracy and Social Organizations of the Opposition
Venezuelan democracy has been considered one of the most mature and long-lasting in Latin America because of the continuity since 1958 of formally democratic governments. An additional factor is the existence of active social organizations that since the 1970s have mobilized their members in favor of the deepening of democracy and the incorporation of their values and identities into the political system. Since the 1980s, a number of proposals ha…
Democracy, Decentralization, and Clientelism
One of the objectives of decentralization is extending democracy by transforming the power relations between the state, the market, and civil society. The idea of democracy implied by this type of decentralization transcends the strictly procedural definition of democracy as a political system characterized by free elections based on universal suffrage, freedom of association, accountability, and civilian control of the military (Mainwaring, O'Do…
