Oil makes up one-third of Venezuelas entire GDP, and the United States is far and away Venezuelas largest trading partner. Relations between Venezuela and the United States, traditionally close for most of the last two centuries, began to fray as the end of the Cold War altered the international environment.
U.S.-Venezuela Relations since the 1990s explores relations between these two countries since 1999, when Hugo Chavez came to office and proceeded to change Venezuelas historical relation with the United States and other democracies. The authors analyze the reasons for rising bilateral conflict, the decision-making process in Venezuela, the role played by public and private actors in shaping foreign policy, the role of other powers such as China, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia in shaping U.S.-Venezuelan relations, the role of Venezuela in Cuba and Colombia, and the impact of broader international dynamics in the bi-lateral relations.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Jorge I. Domnguez and Rafael Fernndez de Castro. They are the ones who approached us with the idea to write this book. Jorge gave us extraordinary advice at every stage of the process.
For Carlos, writing this book was a natural choice. Carlos has spent his entire life studying Venezuelas foreign relations, and he coauthored with Janet Kelly the first edition back in 2002. Their focus on U.S.Venezuela relations in the 20th century became the inspiration for this book. For Javier, the idea of writing a book on U.S.Venezuela relations was somewhat of a gamble. While he had done some work on international relations in broad terms, his expertise lay mostly in comparative politics. We are both grateful to Jorge and Rafael for trusting us to undertake this project jointly.
Javier Corrales is enormously grateful to Amherst College, and his students there. At Amherst, Javier was privileged to work with a dean of faculty, Greg Call, who supports faculty research in imaginative and flexible ways. One way in which Greg supported this project was by authorizing a special topics course for selected undergraduates. This allowed Javier to offer the course, U.S. Venezuela Relations, in the fall of 2011, and eight of the brightest students on campus enrolled.
This special topics course proved integral to the completion of this book. Javier met with his students an evening a week for an entire semester. They all knew the starting time of the seminar, but no one knew for sure what time it would end. They devoted their time to generating ideas, synthesizing existing knowledge, proposing research projects to work on, and discussing drafts. In the end, each of Javiers students made decisive contributions. Federico Sucre and Jean Santiago researched Venezuelas relations with Latin American nations, and Hansol Park and Charles Oluwunmi researched relations with extrahemispheric nations. Sam Pritzker helped with oil-related themes. Will Rives worked on congressional affairs. Matt Lerner helped with U.S. policy toward Venezuela in general. And Seguin Strohmeier, who was a former student, helped with copy editing, formatting, and fact checking, always working against the clock through no fault of her own but ours.
