| Sumario: | Over the past decade, Venezuela has moved into a deep recession, which has resulted in millions migrating abroad.

Through a post-structuralist approach to security, I argue that individuals have been portrayed in contradictory humanitarian discourses as a means of advancing particular political interests. Furthermore, I critically analyze the role of space, time, and multilateralism, and their subsequent effects for the 21st century global order. |
