BOLIVIA: Social Movement Democracy
August 14-24, 2009

On January 25, 62% of the people of Bolivia voted to approve a new Constitution, a demand first raised by the indigenous movements in the early 1990s. It was a key promise of the successful 2005 election campaign of the country’s first indigenous president, Evo Morales. Now, having seriously challenged a virulent minority opposition, Bolivians are poised to re-found their country.
