In Venezuela, everything is crashing except the government.
Shortages in food, medicine, clean drinking water, money, and even the
paper needed to produce passports continue to cause mass suffering in
the oil-rich country. Despite the wealth of resources in Venezuela,
mismanagement and global economic trends have led to the collapse or
malfunctioning of almost every sector of the formal economy. And yet,
the Maduro administration has survived for four years. How much longer
can it last in this crisis-torn country?
On Wednesday, March 29, Hudson Institute’s Center for Latin America
Studies will host a discussion on the political factors that explain the
resilience of the Maduro administration. Professor Javier Corrales,
author of Dragon in the Tropic: The Legacy of Hugo Chávez, will
analyze the situation in Venezuela, drawing comparisons with crises
elsewhere in Latin America and identifying the key components of the
Venezuelan government’s survival strategy. Gustavo Coronel, a
distinguished Venezuelan geologist and political scientist, and
Ambassador Otto Reich, former Assistant Secretary of State and U.S.
Ambassador to Venezuela, will offer commentary on Professor Corrales’s
remarks. The discussion will be moderated by Hudson Senior Fellow
Ambassador Jaime Daremblum.
