Ao constatar que a riqueza do país é gerada, majoritariamente, pelo comércio do petróleo no exterior, o texto problematiza as dificuldades enfrentadas em razão desta atividade não compor uma cadeia produtiva extensa, mas, sim, um conjunto restrito de ações e serviços vinculados à extração de recursos não-renováveis. Nesse contexto, a tese expõe as diferentes maneiras pelas quais a natureza rentista da economia venezuelana repercutiu, também, em sua política externa. Inicialmente, o foco recai sobre o processo que, entre 1927 e 1958, consolidou a primazia da atividade petroleira, bem como a ascensão e queda do momento político subsequente, o puntofijismo (1958-1998), enfatizando-se, nesse primeiro momento, o emergir da "diplomacia do petróleo" e o estabelecimento da vocação centro-americanista e caribenha da política externa venezuelana. Em seguida, detalha-se a maneira pela qual o governo Chávez (1999-2013) regulou e colocou em prática a exploração petrolífera no país, argumentando-se que o modelo escolhido para reorganizar o setor ¿ as empresas mistas ¿ manteve a iniciativa privada transnacional como sua principal beneficiária. Por outro lado, se reconhece a importante inovação realizada pelo governo bolivariano ao investir boa parte da renda no financiamento de programas de inclusão social. Já no âmbito internacional, em que pese a maior proeminência conquistada por meio da postura proativa e integracionista adotada pela política externa bolivariana, realça-se o fato do instrumento utilizado para tanto (o comércio do petróleo) colocar o país numa posição instável e preponderantemente subalterna no contexto da divisão internacional do trabalho / Abstract: The study analysis the implications of oil rentism for both the domestic political-structure and the foreign policy pursued by Venezuela. Noting that the country's wealth is generated mainly by the trade of oil abroad, the thesis discusses the difficulties faced due to the fact that the aforementioned activity is not part of a large chain of productive activities, being, on the contrary, part of a limited set of actions and services related to the extraction of non-renewable natural resources. Within this perspective, the study presents the different ways in which the rentier nature of the Venezuelan economy reflected in its foreign policy. Initially, the focus is on the process that, between 1927 and 1958, consolidated the primacy of oil as the main component of the economy, as well as the rise and fall of the subsequent political moment, puntofijism (1958-1998), emphasizing the emergence of "oil diplomacy" and the establishment of the Central American and Caribbean vocation of Venezuelan foreign policy. Then, it is presented how Chávez's administration (1999-2013) regulated and put into practice the oil exploration in the country, arguing that the model chosen to reorganize the sector - joint ventures ¿ maintained privet transnational capital as its main beneficiary. On the other hand, it is acknowledged that an important change has been made by the Bolivarian government through the policy of investing part of the income on social programs. In the international context, despite a greater prominence achieved by a proactive and integrationist Bolivarian foreign policy, it is stated that the instrument used to do so (oil trade) occupies, due the framework that rules oil trade, an unstable and subordinate position within transnational capitalism / Doutorado / Ciencia Politica / Doutor em Ciência Política
