“…Also, this policy stance especially means opposition to unilateral operations involving the use of force. Moreover, Russia has tended to back Venezuela diplomatically in various UN fora and has repeatedly blocked multilateral initiatives to punish or place embargoes on Venezuela (Rouvinski, 2019). Russia has thus far shown much concern for outside interference in Venezuela's internal affairs.…”

“…Russia has thus far shown much concern for outside interference in Venezuela's internal affairs. It has warned against the possibility of states using force against the territorial integrity and political independence of Venezuela, as well as what Russia perceives as possibly illegitimate interference within the domestic jurisdiction of the Venezuelan state (Rouvinski, 2019). The following section will focus on applying TGT concerning Russian foreign policy towards Venezuela in more specific terms.…”

Russia in Latin America: Why support Venezuela in a crisis?

et al. 2023

Russia has been a powerful ally in Venezuela's complex crisis, having developed political, economic and cultural relations with the Venezuelan state by employing various foreign policy instruments such as mutual support in multilateral fora, foreign aid, loans, commodity trading, military support and cultural diplomacy. What explains this support, despite Venezuela's severe political and economic crisis? Different perspectives have contributed to discussions on shifts in Russian foreign policy towards Latin America since the end of the Cold War. However, studies subscribing to traditional international relations theories have occasionally focused on a single issue or dimension. Such a focus may be problematic when analysing the multifaceted portfolio applied to Russian foreign policy. Based on the Two‐Good Theory approach, its focus on change and maintenance of the status quo, and the concept of substitutability, this research paper elaborates on Russia's foreign policy strategy towards Venezuela to explain policy priorities by examining the alliance with the Venezuelan Maduro regime. Furthermore, the paper highlights the link between the tangible characteristics of energy security and arms sales and intangible aspects, such as cultural diplomacy, which are important explanatory factors of Russian support for Venezuela.

“…On this basis, Venezuela believes that there is a common understanding with Russia that there is a need for resistance to challenge the power and influence of the United States in the international arena. 20 The last factor is related to Common Fate. In this case, Common Fate is understood as the common fate experienced by Russia and Venezuela, namely related to common threats such as the presence of the United States in this crisis.…”

The crisis happening in Venezuela is a humanitarian crisis that affects political instability and local economics. This economic crisis is caused by reducing the cost of oil supply. Besides, the political crisis began with internal problems between the government and the opponent, exacerbating the situation. It brings attention to developing countries to get into this crisis dynamic, such as Russia. In Venezuela's crisis, Russia offered material support and morality to Nicolas Maduro's government. Thus, Russia attempts to support Maduro from international claims. This research intends to analyze the reasons behind Russia's supporting Nicolas Maduro in the Venezuela Crisis by using the constructivism theory of Alexander Wendt. Based on research results, showed 3 variables that explain Russia's involvement in the Venezuela crisis. Firstly, interdependence is related to corporation dependence between Russia and Venezuela. Second, homogeneity, is based on both the same background. Lastly, common fate is based on the same destiny and adversary between Russia and Venezuela.

“…In an important contribution, and drawing on the work of Rawls, Habermas, and Lefort, Rummens argues that the "two strands" or "two pillars" understanding of liberal democracy is flawed because it assumes that one can function properly without the other. 28 For Rummens, liberal democracy is not a paradoxical regime that contains two pillars in tension; on the contrary, and relying on Habermas' language, there is a "co-originality" between them. By this he means that "the liberal and democratic dimensions are not incompatible at all, but represent, rather, inseparable or 'cooriginal' aspects of a regime which aims to preserve and protect human freedom."…”

“…Campos saw the 1930s as setting the stage for a general "libertine climate." 28 In the face of the supposedly critical situation that Brazil was confronting in those times, it would be the duty of a statesman (that is, Getúlio Vargas) to take extraordinary measures, such as the 1937 coup. 29 In such a general justification of Vargas' policies, it is no surprise that Campos would see, in 1937, the continuity of the revolution that started in 1930: in other words, the so-called revolution of 1930 was the basis for unilaterally imposing a dictatorial constitution in 1937.…”

There is a contested relationship between populism and democracy. Defenders of populism argue that populism enhances the democratic dimension of liberal democracy (popular sovereignty), even if its liberal component (checks and balances) may suffer as a result. The present paper rejects this claim on two counts: conceptual and empirical. The paper shows that the liberal and democratic dimensions of democracy are deeply interwoven in practice. Effective checks and balances (a central component of the liberal dimension) are necessary for the full exercise of popular sovereignty (the preeminent component of the democratic dimension). This paper shows that populism in power moderates the relationship between checks and balances (measured as horizontal accountability) and popular sovereignty (measured as free and fair elections). Therefore, the paper concludes that when checks and balances are eroded by populist chief executives, so too is the exercise of popular sovereignty. Empirically and conceptually, the liberal dimension of liberal democracy cannot be diminished significantly to enhance the democratic component, as theorists of populism claim, because the weakening of the first leads to the erosion of the second. The modeling strategy is based on a fixed-effect panel design of 19 Latin American countries in the period 1979-2021.
