Resumen
This exploratory paper studies the Venezuelan
political movement Democratic Unity Roundtable MUD
(Mesa de la Unidad Democrática), created to oppose the
socialist government ruling in the country. The critique is
done from a complexity science standpoint. Some key concepts
of complex systems are used to explicate the functioning and
organization of the MUD. This with the aim of generating a
comprehensive diagnostic of the problems it faces, and
providing new insights into detrimental behaviors and
practices the party currently holds. The complexity approach
to its problems help understand better the sociopolitical
context that frames the party and, ultimately, propose
solutions to the cohesion problems it presents.
