The conditions that had facilitated the institutionalization of the Punto Fijo system during the 1960s had changed in the 1990s in the transition from a world society to highly unequal & urbanized society, the new era of globalization & integration, as well as the parallel backlash to the negative consequences of these developments throughout the world. The examination of the failure of the Punto Fijo democracy to structural changes, both nationally & globally identifies vulnerabilities that led to Chavez crosscutting electoral support. The beginning of the decline of Punto Fijo is pegged at the confluence of structural & institutional factors on Black Friday (February 18, 1983) in the Bolivarian Participatory Democracy (1998-2000) & the course of democracy in the Republic (2001-2003). This work confirms that political economy & political culture variables contribute to explaining political change in Venezuela, & institutional variables are even more central to explaining the unraveling of post-1958 representative democracy. A summarization of the institutional hypotheses generated from this analysis supports the conclusion that the Venezuelan case provides important clues of how apparently institutionalized representative democracies can unravel when stressed, & is a very important lesson for leaders seeking to normalize the political regime and the more recent democracies that took root in the 1980s in many countries of the developing world.

The challenge for the [Chávez] administration is to devise a way to include dissenting voices and respect minority views while still carrying out the changes desired by the Venezuelan people. The alternative is a tyranny of the majorityin the name of revolutionary change.

While much attention has been paid to state-group relations in the context of abrupt regime change, it is useful to examine the patterns of interest mediation in a stable democracy by looking at state-party-labor relations in Venezuela since 1958. The transition from a primarily party-mediated model of labor incorporation to a model providing a larger role for the state in the mediation of class relations can be demonstrated by tracing the patterns of inducements and constraints on labor, particularly by looking at new institutional, organizational, and juridical forms
