Abstract

Following an overview of social protection policies in Latin America, this chapter considers the specific case of Venezuela with a focus on the presidency of Hugo Chávez (1998–2013). After analysing the ideological, political and economic drivers of the social protection system introduced by the government, the chapter highlights continuity with a domestic tradition of financing social protection with volatile oil export revenues. Through detailed reference to health policy, it is argued that the achievements were significant, particularly given the national crisis inherited by Chávez, but that welfare initiatives were unsustainable without major institutional and economic policy change.
