World Affairs Council: ​ Venezuela in the Post Chavez era

"On March 5 Hugo Chávez passed away after succumbing to a long battle with cancer, leaving behind a complex legacy, a political movement often referred to as ‘Chavismo.’ Many around the world mourned the loss of the leader, while others looked ahead to a new future for Venezuela. Indeed his rise to fame and eventual occupation of Venezuela’s most powerful position was nothing short of legendary.​​.. ​Rory Carroll, the former Latin America Bureau Chief for The Guardian, is well positioned to speak about the future of Venezuela after Chávez.​"​

Chavez Legacy - London, UK                                                              

Panel discussion hosted by the Frontline Club

 

"Provoking adoration and revulsion in equal measure, Hugo Chavez is a leader like no other. In October last year his loyal supporters came out to vote him back into office for his fourth presidential term. In his new book Comandante acclaimed journalist Rory Carroll sheds light on the inside story of Chavez’s life and his political court in Caracas. He will join the New Yorker’s Jon Lee Anderson and others to ask after more than 13 years in power what will Chavez’s legacy be".

World Affairs 2103 - San Francisco, US

Session "Left leaning Latin America: Understanding US policy in the region" 

In 2004, the Bolivarian Alliance of the Americas was established under the leadership of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. Several countries from Latin America and the Caribbean signed on, including Cuba, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Nicaragua. This seemed to have ushered in the era of a left-leaning Latin America that is a greater challenge for US policy in the region. How have these leftist governments in Latin America fared, and how has US policy toward the region adapted? Rory will be share the podium with Michael Shifter, President, Inter-American Dialogue and Julia Sweig, Director of Latin America Studies. Carroll's Participation was canceled due to unexpected trip to Venezuela after notice of Chavez death.
