Abstract

After 40 years of democracy, the political parties’ system collapsed in Venezuela, allowing a charismatic leader, the Lieutenant-colonel Hugo Rafael Chavez Frías to be elected as a President of the Republic (1998). Within the historiographical tendency of “immediate history”, this essay aims to offer a comprehensive assessment of the evolution of Bolivarian Revolution and focus on a main point, the civil-military relations, from the origins of the revolutionnary mouvement to its radicalization subsequently to the coup attempt of April 2002.
