Summary
The aim of this book is to reconstruct and understand the revolutionary Bolivarian ideology in Chavez's movement through a historical analysis of its ideological principles and revolutionary scholastic institutions. Differing from many journalistic publications about Chavez, this book uncovers the deep social dynamics of Venezuelan politics using a strict empirical analysis. This book presents an original model for researching the ideologies behind Latin American political movements.
