11. THE BOLIVARIAN REVOLUTION:
PRACTICES, POLICIES, PROCESSES – FROM LOCAL, TO REGIONAL, TO GLOBAL

This panel is based on a joint book project that seeks to bring together theory, method, and practices of the Bolivarian Revolution. In contrast to much of the literature on the revolutionary project, the presentations on this panel are based on extended immersion and participation in the processes in very diverse settings and spaces of the revolution. The panel addresses a broad range of theoretical and practical questions and issues, such as: the nature and the relationships of different forms of popular participation, the organised society and the state; the contestations over spaces and institutions within the national, as well as across scales in the inter- and transnational construction of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America; methodologically, based on the different forms of critical political ethnography conducted by the presenters in the respective localities, the panel seeks to explore how local revolutionary practices in Venezuela and elsewhere in the emergent Latin American and Caribbean region (LAC) (and beyond) can be linked up with regional and global transformatory processes in the attempt to advance a transdisciplinary, counter-hegemonic globalisation research agenda and methodology.
