Adriana Erthal Abdenur and Robert Muggah
How to Avoid a Venezuelan Civil War
Latin American Solutions for a Latin American Problem
Foreign Affairs, 2017
Aperçu
Latin America has the necessary expertise and skills to prevent Venezuela’s implosion.
Recommendation
Venezuela stands on the brink of civil war. Violence between pro- and anti-government protesters, along with severe shortages in food and medicine, has led tens of thousands of Venezuelans to flee the country. So far, the international community has done little to help, but the potential costs of a political and economic meltdown are too high to ignore. International relations professor Adriana Erthal Abdenur and Igarapé Institute think tank co-founder Robert Muggah call for a local solution to the crisis. getAbstract recommends this Foreign Affairs snapshot to those looking for a primer on the crisis and a possible solution in Venezuela.
