“Rowan Lubbock's book is an incisive, well-informed, and insightful contribution to the critical understanding of the social struggle behind the food sovereignty project in the rise and fall of the ALBA-TCP. Unraveling how this initiative for regional socialist transformation failed to become a regional food sovereignty regime, the book is a must-read that offers an analysis beyond the partial explanations on the weaknesses of the Bolivarian revolution in Latin America.” - Ernesto Vivares (editor of Regionalism, Development, and the Post-Commodities Boom in South America) “The most thought-provoking analysis of the fate of Venezuela's national and regional socialist project and the irreconcilable contradiction between cooperative and distributive forms of production and the expansion of state power and its consequences for social emancipation.” - Pia Riggirozzi (author of Advancing Governance in the South: What Roles for International Financial Institutions in Developing States?)
