Em 1998, a eleição de Hugo Chávez como presidente da Venezuela resultou em uma série de transformações no âmbito doméstico e na política externa do país. Nesse sentido, a proposta de inserção internacional do Estado venezuelano teve como objetivo estratégico a construção de uma ordem internacional multipolar, assumindo como prioridades: i) a diversificação das relações externas com foco no eixo Sul-Sul e ii) a integração regional latino-americana e caribenha. Parte-se da hipótese que o Estado venezuelano, condicionado pela dependência estrutural e baseado na renda petroleira, fez uso da diplomacia petroleira para impulsionar seu projeto de integração regional na América Latina e no Caribe que possuía um conteúdo claramente anti-imperialista e latino-americanista. O presente trabalho constitui, portanto, um estudo de caráter exploratório. No que tange à metodologia, foram analisados documentos oficiais do governo venezuelano e discursos do presidente Hugo Chávez Frías em cúpulas dos processos de integração que a Venezuela fora Estado-membro, no recorte temporal aqui estabelecido, à luz da teoria social crítica latino-americana. O trabalho debruça-se sobre a política externa venezuelana. Para tal, analisa-se o rentismo petroleiro como particularidade do subdesenvolvimento venezuelano e como essa condição incidiu sobre a configuração de sua política externa, a partir da segunda metade do século XX. Em seguida, analisa-se a inflexão no que tange à política externa resultante da eleição de Hugo Chávez, o lugar da integração na agenda da política externa de seu governo e o conteúdo da proposta de integração regional projetada pelo governo Chávez, a partir dos discursos de Hugo Chávez e da movimentação da Venezuela no que tange aos processos de integração regional na América Latina entre 2004 e 2012.<br> / Abstract : This tesis's object is the Venezuelan foreign policy's political agenda towards regional integration in the period from 2004 to 2012. In 1998, Hugo Chávez's election as Venezuela's president produced a myriad of transformations, both in the domestic scope and in the foreign policy. In this sense, Venezuela's international activities strategically aimed the development of a multipolar international order, prioritizing the diversification of the international relations, focusing on the South-South and the Latin-American and Caribbean integration. The hypothesis worked on is that, possessing a dependent economy based on oil finance, Venezuela exerted oil diplomacy to stimulate its regional integration project in Latin America and Caribe, which possessed clear anti-imperialist and Latin-Americanist content. Therefore, the present research is exploratory. In reference to methodology, the analysis of official documents from the Venezuelan government and speeches from Hugo Chávez Frías in regional integration meetings in which Venezuela was a member, from 2004 to 2012, was based on Latin-American critic social theory. For such, oil profiteering is analyzed as a particularity of Venezuelan underdevelopment and how this condition was fundamental to the outline of its foreign policy on the second half of the XX century. Then, the focus is on the inflexion, in the scope of the foreign policy, as a result of Hugo Chávez's election, the place regional integration assumed on the political agenda of his government and the content of the regional integration as proposed by Chávez government, based on Hugo Chávez's speeches and Venezuela?s role in the regional integration processes between 2004 and 2012.

This paper analyzes the liberalization of Venezuela's foreign direct investment (FDI) laws. In the past, Venezuela placed tough restrictions upon the entry and operation of foreign investment. These restrictions were made possible as long as petroleum prices remained high and the country had access to cheap international bank loans. The debt crisis in the 1980s, a drop in commodity prices, and a decrease in international bank loans once again made FDI an attractive source of foreign capital. In order to attract greater FDI inflows, Venezuela began to liberalize its foreign investment laws in the mid-1980s. Despite these changes, FDI inflows into Venezuela have been erratic. This paper then discusses some of the adjustments Venezuela will have to make in order to attract greater foreign investment inflows, and ends with an examination of how the country can maximize FDI's contribution to its economic development.

Venezuela, a Latin American rentier state, went from experiencing 11 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 1983 to 44 in 2002. My dissertation project examines why this significant increase in social violence took place by analysing the relationship between slum development and the withering of institutions of social control in the country after the 1970s. This article however only discusses the conceptual framework behind the dwindling of institutions of social control. The hypothesis of this article (and that of my dissertation) is that a Durkheimian anomic gap was fomented in the Venezuelan slums because transition to modernity (rural-to-urban migration) did not allow recreating institutions that promoted norms of social interaction, which reduce the possibility of violent conflict between people. It concludes by reviewing the tentative methodology that will be applied in my dissertation to confirm or dismiss the aforementioned hypothesis. / In Venezuela, einem lateinamerikanischen Rentierstaat, stieg die Zahl der Totschläge pro 100.000 Einwohner von 11 im Jahr 1983 auf 44 im Jahr 2002. In meiner Dissertation wird untersucht, warum sich diese signifikante Steigerung der sozialen Gewalt nach den 1970er Jahren ereignet. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine Analyse der Beziehung zwischen Slumentwicklung und dem Weichen von Institutionen der sozialen Kontrolle vorgenommen werden. Dieser Artikel beschreibt den konzeptionellen Rahmen um diesen Kausalzusammenhang zu belegen. Die Hypothese meines Forschungsvorhabens ist, dass der rasante Übergang in die Moderne (die Land-Stadt-Migration) eine normfreie Zone entstehen ließ. Der Artikel endet mit der Überprüfung der vorläufigen Methodik, die in meiner Dissertation die oben genannte Hypothese zu negieren oder zu bestätigen sucht.
