Too much emphasis is placed on corruption as the cause of the crisis. Venezuela shows the vulnerability of democracy in challenging situations. The current Caldera government has further undermined the rule of law. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Latin American Research Review is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
