Quid de más de diez años de gestión del poder de los movimientos sociales en Bolivia1
Abstract
A raíz de los resultados del referéndum del 21 de febrero de 2016, los "oficialistas" del Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) cuestionan el "proceso de cambio"; mientras que los que votaron en contra de modificar la Constitución, ven a un Ejecutivo antidemocrático e incapaz de ordenar la sucesión en el liderazgo del MAS. Este artículo examina el lugar de los movimientos sociales en el proceso de cambio y sus interacciones en la gestión del poder, analiza los logros y los fracasos de la gestión del Ejecutivo en nombre de estos movimientos, y reflexiona sobre la naturaleza de la cultura política boliviana
