Summary: | Coups d’êtat are not punctual events in the political life of a country but situations closely linked and conditioned by the social/political dynamics of a nation, hence becoming the practical materialization of patterns of conflict already rooted within society. As proposed by Jesús De Andrés, the origins and performance of coups d’êtat may be studied through the identification of their individual circumstances, framing processes and organization. In order to briefly approach the three coups d’êtat that have taken place in Venezuela between 1989 and 2004, this essay follows a methodology linking the coup burst with the evolution of patterns of conflict that took place in the nation throughout the last two decades. As a conclusion, the author suggests that the 1992 coups modified the pattern of conflict, even articulating a new one, while the 2002 coup was the frustrated outcome of a social movement that emerged as a response to that newly modified pattern of conflict. |
