M.A. candidate Erika Rodriguez Publishes Article on US-Venezuela-China Relations

M.A. candidate Erika Rodriguez (class of 2013) recently published an article entitled "Venezuela's Love Affair With China" on the Latin American Bureau (LAB)'s website. Erika's article talks about the dynamics between China, Venezuela and the US, and illustrates the idea of Venezuela's oil being used as a diplomatic weapon.

"I explore the effect that Venezuela's oil trade with China could have on its already politically strained relations with the US, along with the efforts that Venezuela is making on decreasing dependency on the US, and diversify oil markets to China".

The Latin American Bureau (LAB) is a London-based independent research and publishing organization. The LAB works to broaden public understanding of issues of human rights, development, culture and social and economic justice in Latin America and the Carribean.
