Entre protestar y gobernar: Movimientos sociales en Bolivia en tiempos del MAS
Abstract
El MAS es un partido-movimiento, un instrumento político que reúne las demandas y programas de una amplia gama de movimientos sociales en Bolivia. En este artículo el autor analiza las relaciones entre la parte del movimiento que se ha convertido en aparato de gobierno y aquella que ha seguido promoviendo los intereses de sus bases. Una pregunta atraviesa el texto: ¿Cómo surgió la grieta entre el MAS y los movimientos sociales que lo componen?
