Abstract
Venezuela is continuing to suffer the political turmoil that dramatically manifested itself on 12 April 2002, when a military-backed coup temporarily removed President Hugo Chávez from office. Although the coup ended in failure, it marked the start of a new era in Venezuelan politics. Previously disorganised opposition groups are increasingly confident and determined to check what they see as Chávez's political excesses. In trying to head off the possibility of another attempt to oust him – constitutionally or by force – Chávez is having to adopt a much more conciliatory stance toward the opposition and on policy matters. The key question is whether Venezuelan politics have become too polarised for these tactics to succeed over the medium term.
