I'm delighted that *Authoritarian Consolidation in Times of Crisis: Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro*, the book I co-edited with Raul Sanchez Urribarri, has officially been published! The book is available at Routledge Books website, in paperback, hardcover and eBook: routledge.com/Authoritarian-…

A guaranteed must-read on Venezuelan politics featuring top scholars of that topic. This should be on the shelf of folks studying authoritarian consolidation, too.
