The Foro Latinoamericano 2013 examines the Venezuela of Hugo Chávez. After thirteen years as president, no single figure has transformed Venezuela more than the architect of what is called the “Bolivarian Revolution.” Recently re-elected to serve until 2019 and battling cancer, observers have been forced to imagine what will come after Chávez. Our guest speakers will discuss how the Bolivarian Revolution has been characterized by outsiders and Venezuelan society, how Chávez has projected his project for Venezuela to the world, and how the country’s society and culture have changed. All of our guests will explore what we might expect from a post-Chávez Venezuela.
