the security threat to the United States Fleischman, Luis 1959- creator Skol, Michael foreword text bibliography dcu 2013 First Edition. monographic eng xxvi, 277 pages ; 24 cm Latin America in the Post-Chávez Era by Luis Fleischman examines how Hugo Chávez’s revolutionary ideology spread across Latin America, weakening democratic institutions and aligning with hostile actors like Iran, guerrilla groups, and drug cartels.

Fleischman calls for stronger U.S. engagement to counter these developments and support democracy in Latin America.
