Abstract

Paz Arauco examines the economic conditions and political processes underlying the mobilization of domestic resources for social development in Bolivia during a period marked by profound transformations in state-society relations. Protest movements and large-scale social mobilizations called for reclaiming state ownership of natural resources, indigenous and regional empowerment and an economic alternative to neoliberalism. On the fiscal side, nationalization of the hydrocarbon sector by the government of Evo Morales, the country’s first indigenous president, generated positive economic and distributional outcomes. Bolivia’s dependence on foreign resources for funding its social contract ended, ushering in a period of sustained growth and lower rates of poverty and inequality. The author concludes by identifying future challenges.
