This book examines the process of dismantling the democratic institutions and protections in Venezuela under a Hugo Chávez regime that has promoted a sinister form of nationalistic authoritarianism at the expense of democratic standards. This volume illustrates how an authoritarian, nondemocratic government lacks all the essential elements of a true democracy as defined by the 2001 Inter-American Democratic Charter.
