The causes of social and political crisis in Venezuela

Venezuela ima največjo zalogo surove nafte na svetu, zato je težko razumeti, zakaj se spopada z gospodarskimi težavami. Država se je znašla v hudi družbenopolitični in gospodarski krizi. Posledica tega je, da prebivalstvo živi pod pragom revščine, primanjkuje jim osnovnih potrebščin za preživetje in masovno so jim kršene človeške pravice (McCoy, Pantoulas, 2019). V diplomski nalogi, ki je sociološko-geografska analiza in refleksija, se bom osredotočal na to, kako je mogoče, da so v Venezueli, kljub velikemu razpolaganju z nafto in dobri geografski legi, življenjske razmere tako slabe.Venezuela has the world\u27s largest reserves of crude oil, so it is hard to understand why is Venezuela struggling economically. The country found itself in severe socio-political and economic crisis. As a result, the population lives below the poverty line, lacks the basic necessities for survival and massive human rights violation (McCoy, Pantoulas, 2019). In my diploma thesis, which is a sociological-geographical analysis and reflection, I will focus on how it is possible that living conditions in Venezuela are so bad, despite the large availability of oil and its good geographical location
