    Changing political scenarios in Bolivia: from the general elections in 2014 to the sub-national elections and regional referendums in 2015
    (Wydawnictwo UMCS, 2016) Marcelo Varnoux Garay
    The paper deals with the changes experienced in the Bolivian political scene during a very short time, due to the results of the general elections that took place in October 2014, the sub-national elections in March 2015 and the departmental referendums in the same year. In the first case, the unquestionable victory of the leader Evo Morales generated the feeling that the way to consolidate the hegemonic ruling party in Bolivia was paved to achieve the most important goal: the amendment of the State Constitution to legalize the indefinite reelection of Evo Morales, following the model that has been established among the ALBA countries. However, the electoral defeat in 2015 suffered by the ruling party MAS (Movimiento al Socialismo) reduces that possibility.

    La ciencia política en Bolivia: entre la reforma política y la crisis de la democracia
    (2005) Marcelo Varnoux Garay
    Resumen La ciencia política en Bolivia inicia su organización y desarrollo formal con la recuperación de la democracia en 1982. Al grupo de cientistas políticos formados en Europa y México, se suma un pequeño grupo graduado en la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés que tendrá un papel significativo en el diseño de las reformas al sistema político desde 1993. A raíz de los grandes conflictos sociales, el país ha retrocedido institucionalmente y la disciplina debe volver su mirada a temas básicos, como el de la revalorización del sistema democrático. Asimismo, las organizaciones que aglutinan a los profesionales en ciencia política son muy nuevas, lo que les obliga primero a consolidarse como tales para desarrollar otro tipo de actividades.
