Students
interested in foreign elections will have the opportunity to hear an insider’s perspective
on Latin American politics in Venezuela.
The University of Oklahoma’s Department
of Political Science and the College of International Studies are co-sponsoring
a luncheon next week, focusing on Venezuela’s 2012 presidential elections.
Pablo Kenney, a public opinion analyst who traveled to Venezuela to oversee
electoral polls during the Venezuelan presidential election in October, will be
speaking at the luncheon.
This event will appeal to many
people at OU who are interested in elections and competitive authoritarianism
in Venezuela, according to Charles Kenney, Pablo Kenney’s father and associate
professor of comparative and Latin American politics at OU.
“The politics of Venezuela are like
no other country in Latin America today, and the elections of October 2012 were
like none in Venezuela’s history,” Kenney said.
The luncheon will take place on
Tuesday, Nov. 20 at noon in Ellison Hall, room 132.
