Works
An expert on South American affairs, Kozloff formerly worked for the leftist think tank Council on Hemispheric Affairs.[2] Kozloff has been described as a supporter of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez by The Heritage Foundation[5][6] and his book Hugo Chávez : Oil, Politics and the Challenge to the United States was described as "generally positive in its treatment of" Chávez and his Bolivarian Revolution by Marxist magazine Political Affairs.[7] The New York Times described the book as "essentially Marxist" filled with "new-lefty rhetoric" that was an "admiring study of Mr. Chávez".[4]
Kozloff also founded the Revolutionary Handbook, described as "a project which aims to inform discussion about how to bring about non-violent revolutionary change" that was influenced "by the Occupy Wall Street Movement".[8] He has also began studying the tensions between the east and west, Vladimir Putin as well as the Ukrainian crisis.[1]
