Venezuelanalysis.com

Venezuelanalysis.com: Venezuela News, Views and Analysis is a news website, which describes its aim as being "to provide on-going news about developments in Venezuela, as well as to contextualize this news with in-depth analysis and background information. The site is targeted towards academics, journalists, intellectuals, policy makers from different countries, and the general public."[1]

Lonely Planet: Venezuela (a 2007 travel guide book) deems it "the best English language news site" to "keep track of the country's political and economic affairs".[2] A 2009 article in Venezuelanalysis.com does not endorse the Lonely Planet travel guide, saying it is "politically tainted and even today isn't as up to date as it should be".[3]

Analyzing alternative Venezuelan media, Darrell Moen in a Hitotsubashi University publication calls it "A major source of non-corporate controlled information regarding the process of social transformation that is occurring in Venezuela ... This website offers critical analyses by dissident scholars and grassroots-based accounts by social activists involved in the various social movements in Venezuela as well as links to a number of alternative media sites and access to documentary videos that depict recent events in Venezuela".[4] Writing in New Political Science in an article "The Bush Administration Record in Latin America: Sins of Omission and Commission", Walt Vanderbush footnotes a book by Gregory Wilpert, one of the writers for Venezuelanalysis, and says "Wilpert’s website ... is a valuable resource for Venezuelan news and analysis."[5] Two newspapers have said that Venezuelanalysis.com is "pro-Chávez";[6][7] other sources say it is "left-leaning".[8][6]

"His strategy for gaining space for the Venezuelan state to operate and checking US hegemony was rooted in the creation of both alliances and institutions that excluded the North Americans. Implicit in those efforts was an ideological challenge to the neoliberal policies that were growing increasingly unpopular in the Americas.[23] 23. Greg Wilpert, Changing Venezuela By Taking Power (New York: Verso Press, 2007), p. 152 lists the five main objectives of the Chavez government’s foreign policy that were laid out in a 2001–2007 National Development Plan: promote multi-polarity; promote Latin American integration; consolidate and diversify Venezuela's international relations; strengthen Venezuela’s position in the international economy; promote a new regime of hemispheric security. Wilpert’s website (,www.venezuelanalysis.com.) is a valuable resource for Venezuelan news and analysis."
