Resumo

O objetivo do artigo é entender e explicar o que poderia ter afetado as crises econômicas e energéticas durante os governos de Chávez e Maduro (1999 até o presente). Além disso, a presente análise tenta entender quais são as possíveis barreiras e fornece possíveis soluções políticas. Em nossa hipótese, a crise na Ve- nezuela tem raízes principalmente no governo Chávez, portanto é importante uma pesquisa mais profunda sobre o que poderia ter afetado essa crise. Para esse fim, o artigo utiliza um rápido histórico da Venezuela desde o final dos anos 90 até os dias atuais. Além disso, diferentes autores e perspectivas são usados para explicar a crise e fornecer possíveis soluções políticas. Na parte empírica, são dadas algumas explicações. As possíveis barreiras encontradas para essas soluções e como elas podem ser superadas também são encaminhadas. A principal hipótese aqui é que um país rico em petróleo, um nível de desenvolvimento médio a baixo, com instituições fracas, um partido político de esquerda no governo da América Latina e depois en- volvimentos e interesses estrangeiros, poderia ser o local de uma crise internacional induzida, devido aos EUA - através de seus diferentes complexos de poder - e possivelmente outros países desenvolvidos interessados no petróleo.
