Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on how the interaction of political, economic and social factors shape the nature of the state and civil society, and, in turn, their implications for popular participation in development. I examine the 2001 agrarian reform in Venezuela, which was part of the country's larger national project of building what the government called twenty-first century socialism. The government took an active role, pursued a redistributive development path, and promoted popular participation in the process. The literature on state-led development projects and petro-states presents a pessimistic view of the possibilities for social change. Many of the dynamics that this literature describes occurred in Venezuela. Its economic dependence on oil exports negatively affected the agricultural sector, and contributed to the highly centralized and incoherent state structure that impeded the implementation of the country's agrarian reform. Moreover, the political conditions present in transitions to socialism tend to reinforce the existing centralization of power in the state and work against efforts at building a cohesive state bureaucracy with the necessary expertise to implement the new model. Decades of oil dependence also shaped civil society in such a way that popular sectors were relatively unorganized, and accustomed to depending on the state. The centralized nature of the state inhibited efforts to expand popular participation in decision-making. Drawing on interviews with government employees and small farmers, as well as participant observation on farms, at farmer meetings and in government offices, my research demonstrates that the picture is not as dismal as this view would suggest. I describe how local actors, when organized, were able to influence the implementation of the agrarian reform, and thereby improve its success. Degree of decision-making power on the local level varied in the two states where I did fieldwork. In Yaracuy, where local state employees and farmers organized and coordinated with each other, they were able to wield more influence in the determination of policies, and the way these policies were implemented. As a result, these farms were relatively more successful. There are several factors that played a particularly important role in shaping the distinct outcome in the two states, including natural resource endowments, local history, and geographical factors. By identifying the conditions under which the obstacles presented by oil, the political conditions of socialist transitions, and state-led efforts at development can be overcome, my research contributes to the literatures on development, petro-states and transitions to socialism. Moreover, many of my findings are relevant for other states because there are striking similarities in the structure and nature of the economy, the state and civil society across the Global South as a result of the legacies of colonialism and the neoliberal era.
Book Synopsis Petro-Socialism and Agrarianism by : Daniel Brian Lavelle
Download or read book Petro-Socialism and Agrarianism written by Daniel Brian Lavelle and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the policy and socio-economic dynamics of the Venezuelan agrarian reform in the Chavista era. As a self-proclaimed socialist state, the Chavista government has framed its agrarian policies as a reordering of the food system that prioritized land redistribution, smallholder agriculture, and sustainable forms of production. The agrarian reform purported to place peasant farmers at the core of a new agricultural regime that would build national food sovereignty. Yet despite increased state support for smallholders, aggressive pro-peasant rhetoric, popular support for the Chavista party in rural areas, and oil wealth to fund agriculture development, rural dynamics have been characterized by conflict over land and a geographically and temporally uneven process of policy development in the countryside. This dissertation argues that the land reform program in Venezuela has plateaued as a redistributive process and has to come to serve as primarily social rather than productive policy in rural areas. In this study I seek to analyze the determining factors that have impacted and restricted the agrarian reform process and produced this limited outcome. To understand the limits of the agrarian reform I argue that it is necessary to examine policy processes within an analysis of the broader political economy of Venezuela as an oil state with a mixed economy. I also posit that analyses of agrarian dynamics that focus on peasant-state relationships without addressing the commercial agriculture sector have omitted a critical dimension of the agro-food system. I therefore take a multi-sectoral approach to agro-food policy that draws these understudied components of agrarian Venezuela--petro-state dynamics and the commercial agriculture sector--into an analysis anchored on peasant-state policy relationships. Through this multi-sectoral approach I argue that the complex and often contradictory objectives of state policy in the agrarian realm are illustrative of macro-level, petro-state constraints on progressive reform more broadly, as well as tensions between political and economic development objectives of state policy. I show how oil dynamics create political economic challenges to structural change and feed into the construction of particular state 'needs' for agriculture, food production and agrarian reform. These dynamics help to explain the apparent contradiction of why much of state agricultural policy in Venezuela contributes to maintaining the viability and local economic position of large farmers even as government discourse continues to highlight the state's promotion of agrarian reform and smallholder production. I propose the term 'petro-socialism' to refer to the political economy emerging from the amalgam of oil state dynamics and the anti-neoliberal/socialist framing of the government's policies. The concept of petro-socialism connotes that the shape of state reforms in the Chavista period were inherently constrained and often contradictory in nature.

Book Synopsis Populist Discourse in Venezuela and the United States by : Ritchie Savage
Download or read book Populist Discourse in Venezuela and the United States written by Ritchie Savage and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the conceptual framework of populism as discourse, Ritchie Savage provides a comparative analysis of U.S. and Latin American speeches and articles covering Betancourt’s Acción Democrática, Chávez, McCarthyism, and the Tea Party. In so doing, he reveals an essential structure to populist discourse: reference to the "opposition" as a representation of the persistence of social conflict, posed against a collective memory of the origins of democracy and struggle for equality, is present in all cases. This discursive formation of populism is carried out in comparisons of political discourse in the United States and Venezuela, two countries that are typically classified as empirically specific in their economic and political development and ideological orientation. Populist Discourse in Venezuela and the United States explores how instances of populism, once exceptional phenomena within modern forms of political rule, are becoming increasingly integrated with the structure of democratic politics.
