Abstract

This paper is the preliminary result of an on-site survey carried out in Bolivia in July 2019 in order to understand the characteristics of the process of change in the country that started in 2006. The investigation was proposed to verify this process in the economic, social and political axes. The presented scenario encompasses a trajectory of economic stability, a social context of reduction of inequalities and a political scenario marked by the pursuit of the intercultural democracy, currently contrasted by a destabilizing polarization.
