Policing and Autocratisation in Bolivarian Venezuela

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: This article aims to identify and analyse the mechanisms and manifestations through which the Venezuelan police have undergone a gradual and incremental counter‐reform in the scope of the autocratisation process of the political regime from Chávez to Maduro. It is argued that police counter‐reform has operated through three mechanisms: politicisation, militarisation and informalisation of policing, whose manifestations have become more pronounced when a deepening of autocratisation has taken place
