Abstract

PATINO VILLA, Carlos Alberto  and  ALMARIO GARCIA, Oscar. VENEZUELA: A MILITARY REGIME WITHOUT GOVERNMENT CAPACITY OR POLITICAL TRANSITION OPTION. anal.polit. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.99, pp.160-173. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v33n99.90989.

The current crisis in Venezuela and the repercussions for neighboring countries have a background that can be explained through the origins that gave rise to the regime, the historical context in which it arises and the institutional and military assembly that it developed to prolong the power of the State. This situation has contributed to the difficulty of a political transition given the inflexibility of the structure of the regime, as well as the important geopolitical alliances that have allowed its maintenance. In this sense, it seeks to explain the paradox of how the construction of a regime established primarily on the military as a central axis, but maintaining the Bolivarian bases in the affairs of formal democracy, added to a bland Venezuelan opposition, have allowed its permanence in the power in spite of taking it to a political crisis characterized by the precarious capacity of government, the collective violence and the partial loss of the international recognition.

Keywords : Political Regime; Venezuela; Military power; geopolitics; Political Conflict; Socialism 21st Century.
