The Collapse of Traditional Venezuelan Political Parties: The Copei Case

What happened in Venezuela at the end of the nineties? Why did their large traditional political parties collapse? What reasons made possible the emergence of the Chavista avalanche and the alteration of the predominant political equation? These questions have not yet had an adequate answer. In this book, the Venezuelan historian Dinorah Carnevali delves into her analysis, providing valuable elements for reflection on the country's political process in general. “The study carried out by Dinorah Carnevali is the chronicle of the disaster of the Venezuelan political system that has led directly to the Bolivarian process. Its meticulous analysis provides the necessary keys to understand the background of the current political moment,” says Xulio Ríos, director of Igadi.
