WAINER, Luis. Mass Tactical Offensive and Integral Defense of the Nation in Venezuela (1999-2005). URVIO [online]. 2024, n.39, pp.64-80. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.39.2024.5996.

In order to investigate the place that the Armed Forces occupied in the Venezuelan political project between 1999 and 2005, this work proposes to historicize a series of civilian and military elaborations and reconsiderations that were based on it. It considers that such a place is related to a set of exchanges sustained over time, as well as to a core of social, academic and political relations that forged a critical view of the soldiers. They, in communion with civilian academics and leftist activists, developed a series of visions and actions for decades. The conception of Mass Tactical Offensive together with that of Integral Defense of the Nation structure this work, that seeks to associate conceptual elaborations and actions, before and after the arrival to the government. These overlaps contributed not only to the creation of a new Bolivarian military doctrine, but also to a critical view of representative democracy and the organization of the political system around it.

Palabras clave : Armed Forces; chavismo; civil-military relations; defending; Venezuela.
