Venezuela: Political, Economic, and Environmental Crisis

Venezuela is in a political, economic, and environmental crisis. President Nicholas Maduro claims that the demonstrators in Caracas and other cities are part of a conspiracy by the U.S. to drive him from power. He and his supporters appear to ignore the shortages of food and medicine that ordinary Venezuelans face each day. The U.S. and 60 other countries have recognized Mr. Juan Guaido, elected leader of the national assembly, as Venezuela's legitimate president. How did the crisis in Venezuela develop? This course will explore the background of the crisis and the environmental impact of the decline in Venezuela's petroleum industry on the country. New international events surrounding Venezuela and the Trump Administration will be discussed.
