GOMEZ SANCHEZ, Irey. The Role of the Social Missions in the Construction of Political Identities in Venezuela. Revista Venezolana de Economía y Ciencias Sociales [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.1, pp.13-34. ISSN 20030507.

The objective of this article is to examine some aspects of recent Venezuelan experience in the struggle against poverty, within the context of a new normative, institutional and socio-political framework, very different from that of the nineteen nineties. It analyzes the so-called "social missions" developed during the Chávez administration, as mechanisms designed to create political and social identities within a context in which the political actors require a new basis for legitimacy and political control.

Palabras clave : Social Missions; Social Policy; Identities and Citizenship.
