In recent weeks, Venezuela has experienced unforeseen political upheaval—leaving the country, region, and diplomatic relations around the world in turmoil. Prof. Kronick will explain the historical antecedents that led to this point, how to understand the current crisis within Venezuela’s political context, and what is likely next for the country.

This is the first of two The World Today presentations on Venezuela. Join us on February 19th to discuss the migration and refugee crisis throughout South America stemming from Venezuela with Perry World House Visiting Fellow and former president of Refugees International, Michel Gabaudan.
