Abstract
La definición de democracia como "el gobierno del y para el pueblo" plantea una pregunta fundamental: ¿quién gobernará y a los intereses de quien responderá el gobierno? El tema cobra una especificidad distinta en sociedades plurales e interculturales como la boliviana. El artículo propone el modelo de "consociacionalismo" de Lijphart como una alternativa posible para dar estabilidad y gobernabilidad en Bolivia, dado el carácter plurinacional e intercultural del país y ante la urgencia de implementar programas gubernamentales y políticas públicas para superar la extrema pobreza.
