    <title>Chávismo After Chávez</title>
    <description><![CDATA[With the death of Hugo Chávez, Chávismo has lost its supremacy in Venezuela. While Chávistas still control the government and key state institutions, including the judiciary, all signs point to the decline of Chávismo and to the end of Venezuela’s role as Latin America’s populist core.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[It can be cause only for celebration that the world’s largest developing economies are holding regularly meetings and establishing common initiatives.

    <title>Latin America Without Chávez</title>
    <description><![CDATA[In the 14 years of his presidency in Venezuela, Hugo Chávez was the main architect of important changes in relations among Latin American countries and between them and the US. So, what will the post-Chávez era in Venezuela mean for diplomacy within the hemisphere?]]></description>

    <title>Popes, Saints, and Religious Competition</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Evangelicals are the fastest-growing world religion by conversion – a trend that underlies the strong expansion of Protestantism in traditionally Roman Catholic Latin America. The Catholic Church lacks enough priests to compete, which is why the creation of saints is becoming an important way of retaining the faithful.]]></description>

    <title>Autumn of the Patriarchs</title>
    <description><![CDATA[A dictator’s death throes are always a form of theater, featuring ecstatic masses and would-be successors fighting for political survival and preservation of privileges. That is why Venezuelan officials stage-managed Hugo Chávez’s illness and eventual death, even suggesting near the end that he was still “walking and exercising.”]]></description>

    <title>The Chávez Way</title>

But first he must reestablish the Catholic Church’s moral authority.]]></description>
