Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)

In the complex landscape of Latin American politics, the interactions and relationships between non-state actors and the authorities, and the influence these have on the creation and implementation of policies relating to public security remains a topic which could benefit from further academic exploration. This research aims to provide insight into the complexity through examining the evolution of non-state actors, their roles and the influence this had had on public security strategies during the presidencies of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.
