Canada Abstract This study seeks to explore and challenge Bolivia’s Movimiento al Socialismo’s (MAS) proceso de cambio by accessing the possibilities and limitations in their strategy for agricultural development. As a product of seven months of engaged fieldwork methods, I examine the MAS’ most recent agricultural policy (Ley de la Revolucion Productiva Comunitaria Agropecuaria (LRPCA)) and follow two interconnected political mobilizations, the mobilizations against the LRPCA and the infamous “TIPNIS” highway-project. I argue that the MAS’ agricultural strategy reflects the larger political economic tendencies of the government across industries. The LPRCA serves to benefit and promote the expansion of the agro-industry further solidifying its position as a primary-resource producing nation. This failure to radically re-organize production has contributed to the increasing conflict and tension within and between Bolivia’s popular sectors. 1 conclude by examining the limitations and possibilities for cross-sectorial political alliances that are looking to reclaim their vision of theproceso de cambio and alter the political-economic landscape of Bolivia. Resumen Esta investigacion trata entender y cuestionar el llamado “proceso de cambio” conducido por el gobiemo del Movimiento al Socialismo en Bolivia, evaluando las posibilidades asi como limitaciones de su estrategia para el desarrollo agricola. Como producto de siete meses de trabajo de campo, examino la actual legislacion agricola (Ley de la Revolucion Productiva Comunitaria Agropecuaria (LRPCA)) y hago seguimiento a dos movilizaciones interconectadas: la movilizacion contra los transgenicos y el famoso conflicto del T1PN1S. Arguyo que la estrategia agricola del MAS refleja las tendencias estructurales del actual gobiemo para la industria. La (LRPCA) sirve para beneficiar y promover la expansion de la agro-industria y resulta solidificando la posicion neo-colonial que mantenga a Bolivia como nacion productora de materias primas. La decision politica por el MAS de no re-organizar radicalmente la produccion agricola ha contribuido al crecimiento de los conflictos y tensiones dentro de los sectores populares. En la conclusion examino las limitaciones y posibilidades para las alianzas entre sectores que, en alguna medida, estan re-posicionandose (rente a llamado “proceso de cambio”. Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the guidance and support ] have received from my supervisor for this project, Justin Paulson, whose intellectual and emotional support cannot be understated and will continue to shape my understanding of the world. I would also like to thank the following people: Susan Spronk, Cristina Rojas and Peter Gose for their insightful and much appreciated comments and criticisms of this work. I would also like to extend particular recognition to Donna Coghill, the administrator of the department of Political Economy at Carleton University for her comments, criticisms, encouragement, and labour that made the completion of this thesis possible. The Centro de Documentacion e Informacion de Bolivia (CEDIB) was an invaluable wealth of resources, documents and literature over the course of my fieldwork and became my home base for debate and discussion regarding this project. I learned a lot from their investigators and resource aids and their library has an incredible collection of works that cannot be found elsewhere. In particular Georgina Jimenez, Pablo Villegas, Vladimir Diaz, Rosemary Amils, and Jorge Campanini were extremely beneficial to my intellectual development and growth, and insightful for my understanding of the Bolivia’s past and present history. I would also like to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of all of the people with whom I had conversations about this study, especially the women leaders of CONAMAQ who allowed me to stay with them in the Vigilia San Francisco over the course of their struggle. Their time and labour was greatly appreciated, and significantly contributed to the ways in which I framed and understood the issue, and Bolivia more generally. I learned more about the politics of struggle and mobilization from listening and debating with those involved in the moments I describe than I could have hoped for. Also this work could not have been completed without the funding support of the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) funding opportunities that enabled me to travel to Bolivia and return there the following year for follow-ups.

Pero ellas son sólo parte de un conjunto de mujeres indias que lucharon en la rebelión a la par de los combatientes hombres. Pese a ello, su participación, objetivos y pensamiento desarrollados en la lucha li- bertaria india han sido ignorados por la mayoría de los historiadores de la rebelión, tampoco se conoce la situación de las mujeres indias del llano que estaban recluidas en la ciudad cercada de La Paz, o las que enfrentaban a la agresión hispana en las provincias y los sectores donde se desarrolló la rebelión. La presente investigación pretende aportar con nuevos elementos al conocimiento de la situación de las mujeres indias durante esta rebelión. 1 Marina Ari es periodista.

  • 2018 Fabricant, Nicole, and Nancy Postero
    ARTICLE Performing Indigeneity in Bolivia: The Struggle Over the TIPNIS Nicole Fabricant, Towson University Nancy Postero, University of California, San Diego ABSTRACT: In this article, we describe the performances of indigeneity during the so- called “TIPNIS controversy” in Bolivia. In 2010, the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) government announced its plans to build a highway through lowland indigenous lands and territories. This controversy—par- ticularly the fact that Morales failed to consult with lowland Indians be- fore beginning the project—sparked two spectacular indigenous marches organized by the Confederation of Bolivian Indigenous Peoples (CIDOB) from lowland Bolivia to the highland capitol. This article examines how these protests called into question the legitimacy of the Morales govern- ment, which claimed to stand for all indigenous peoples. We make two major interventions. First, we suggest that indigeneity here serves as what Povinelli (2011) calls an “ethical substance,” a site of moral reflection and conduct in a certain era or social world. We argue that performance be- comes a central site for moral reflection about indigeneity, gender, and the articulation of alternative social worlds. Second, we inquire into the politics of performance, arguing that debates over indigeneity are played out in particular power-laden fields, where actors have differentially distributed capacities and vulnerabilities. We examine how multiple actors perform in- digeneity in order to push through their own ethical and political agendas, such as state development or gender equality.

Evaluating Evo Morales: The Conflicts and Convergences of Populism, Resource Nationalism, and Ethno-Environmentalism in Bolivia Abstract This thesis seeks to integrate existing scholarly frameworks of populism, resource nationalism, and ethno-environmentalism in order to create a comprehensive understanding of Morales and the MAS. From 2006 until 2019, President Evo Morales and the Movimiento al socialismo (MAS) led Bolivia to global prominence. Experts lauded Morales and the MAS for apparent development successes and democratic expansion in a nation long known for its chronic poverty and conflict. Still, yb the time of his controversial resignation, several socioenvironmental conflicts had diminished his eputationr as an ethno- environmental champion, revealing the tensions inherent in pursuing resource nationalist development in an ethnopopulist state. While existing scholarship on the subject views populist and resource nationalist strategies and policies separately, their functional convergence in the Isiboro Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory (TIPNIS) conflict demonstrates the necessity of an integrated framework.
