Dismantling Democracy in Venezuela
This book examines the process of dismantling the democratic institutions and protections in Venezuela under the Hugo Chávez regime. The actions of the Chávez government have influenced similar processes and undemocratic manoeuvrings in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Honduras. Since the election of Hugo Chávez as president of Venezuela in 1998, a sinister form of nationalistic authoritarianism has arisen at the expense of long-established democratic standards. During the past decade, the 1999 Venezuelan Constitution has been systematically attacked by all branches of the Chávez government, particularly by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, which has legitimized the Chávez-ordered constitutional violations. The Chávez regime has purposely defrauded the Constitution and severely restricted representative government, all in the name of a supposedly participatory democracy controlled by a popularly supported central government. This volume illustrates how an authoritarian, nondemocratic government has been established in Venezuela.
Constitutional Courts as Positive Legislators
In all democratic states, constitutional courts, which are traditionally empowered to invalidate or to annul unconstitutional statutes, have the role of interpreting and applying the Constitution in order to preserve its supremacy and to ensure the prevalence of fundamental rights. In this sense they were traditionally considered "negative legislators," unable to substitute the legislators or to enact legislative provisions that could not be deducted from the Constitution. During the past decade the role of constitutional courts has dramatically changed as their role is no longer limited to declaring the unconstitutionality of statutes or annulling them. Today, constitutional courts conditio...

The COLLAPSE of the RULE of LAW in VENEZUELA and the STRUGGLE for DEMOCRACY in VENEZUELA. Lectures and Essays (2015-2020)
This book of Professor Allan R. Brewer-Carías is a recollection of essays and lectures given by the author during 2015-2020 related to the definitive collapse of the rule of law in Venezuela, and of the struggle to restore democracy lead by the National Assembly elected in December 2015, as the only legitimate elected institution in the country, after an unconstitutional convening of another fraudulent Constituent Assembly in 2017, violating the provisions of the Constitution, and after the unconstitutional call by it of an anticipated and unconstitutional presidential election in order to reelect Nicolas Maduro as President of Venezuela in 2018; reelection considered as a "farce" by the National Assembly which declared it as "nonexistent." The result was, in January 2019, facing the lack of a President legitimately elected that could take his out for the presidential term 2019-2025, the assumption by the National Assembly of a constitutional transition process to restore democracy and reestablish the enforcement of the Constitution.
