Oil, mining, and amnesty: Are Venezuela's reforms going far enough?

Venezuela is undergoing a process of deep economic and political reforms. The strategic oil industry is being opened up to greater participation from the private sector, while a General Amnesty law has been approved and the judiciary is under review.

Some investors and political leaders have, however, argued that reforms are not going far enough, and that the core features of Nicolás Maduro’s government remain in place.

But where are these reforms leading? Is Venezuela transitioning into a new political and economic system? Or, to paraphrase The Leopard, we are only seeing “changes so that nothing changes.”
