Home World Map Rankings Countries from A to Z A B C D ... Z Source: www.exchange-rates.org World South America Bolivia (Notes) Bolivia - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL CONDITIONS The 1967 constitution, revised in 1994, provides for balanced executive, legislative, and judicial powers. The traditionally strong executive, however, tends to overshadow the Congress, whose role is generally limited to debating and approving legislation initiated by the executive. The judiciary, consisting of the Supreme Court and departmental and lower courts, has long been riddled with corruption and inefficiency. Through revisions to the constitution in 1994, and subsequent laws, the government has initiated potentially far-reaching reforms in the judicial system and processes. Bolivia's nine departments received greater autonomy under the Administrative Decentralization law of 1995, although principal departmental officials are still appointed by the central government. Bolivian cities and towns are governed by directly elected mayors and councils. Municipal elections are slated for December 2004, with councils elected to 5-year terms. The Popular Participation Law of April 1994, which distributes a significant portion of national revenues to municipalities for discretionary use, has enabled previously neglected communities to make striking improvements in their facilities and services.

The United States In the 1980s, the growth of Bolivia's narcotics industry dominated United States-Bolivia relations. Drug enforcement programs in Bolivia were begun in the mid-1970s and gathered strength in the early part of the 1980s. Concern over military officers' growing ties to cocaine trafficking led to a tense relationship that culminated in June 1980 in the military's expulsion of the ambassador of the United States, Marvin Weisman, as a persona non grata. The "cocaine coup" of July 1980 led to a total breakdown of relations; the Carter administration refused to recognize General García Meza's government because of its clear ties to the drug trade. President Ronald Reagan continued the nonrecognition policy of his predecessor. Between July 1980 and November 1981, United States-Bolivian relations were suspended. In November 1981, Edwin Corr was named as the new ambassador, thus certifying Bolivian progress in narcotics control. Ambassador Corr played a key role in forcing the military to step down. In the subsequent democratic period, Corr helped shape the drug enforcement efforts of the weak UDP government. In 1983 President Siles Zuazo signed an agreement through which Bolivia promised to eradicate 4,000 hectares of coca over a three-year period in return for a US$14.2 million aid package. Siles Zuazo also promised to push through legislation to combat the booming drug industry.

Government and Politics Bolivia Table of Contents IN 1989 VÍCTOR PAZ ESTENSSORO stepped down as president of Bolivia and on August 6 handed over power to the third democratically elected leader of the 1980s. Paz Estenssoro presided over four years of economic and political stability following two decades of military rule and nearly six years of a tumultuous transition to democracy. When Paz Estenssoro assumed office on August 6, 1985, he inherited a society besieged by the most profound political and economic crisis in its history. Years of military rule had destroyed the nation's political institutions and eroded democratic traditions. The economy, in turn, had experienced a catastrophic downturn owing to years of mismanagement, the exhaustion of a state-centered economic development strategy, and extreme dependence on a single export commoditytin. By 1985 inflation had reached 24,000 percent, and growth rates were declining steadily by over 10 percent annually. To revive an agonizing nation, Paz Estenssoro, the old politician who had led the 1952 Revolution, transcended electoral and party-based politics. To address the economic crisis, he commissioned a team of young technocrats. The resulting New Economic Policy imposed a severe austerity program that stabilized the economy and fundamentally transformed Bolivia's development strategy.

Bolivia Forced Eradication Provoking Civil Instability, Indiscriminate Violence by Government Security Forces (The following information was distributed by the Andean Information Network on September 27.) In response to the failure of alternative development to provide subsistence for the approximately 35,000 coca growing families affected by forced eradication in the Chapare region and the government's failure to completely comply with agreements signed in October, Chapare coca growers have again begun to resist US-funded eradication efforts: The first week of August, in El Dorado Ibuelo, over 300 coca growers blocked the road to impede eradication by the Expeditionary Task Force, a new force of over 500 hired eradicators without adequate training. Mediation by representatives of the Human Rights Ombudsman's office avoided the use of violence, and the forces retreated. On September 13, 300-500 coca growers in Vueltadero in the Carrasco Federation attempted to impede eradication by members of the Joint Task Force. Military and police eventually retreated. Tensions in the region continued to increase throughout September. Coca growers began to surround eradication camps throughout the region, provoking indiscriminate use of force (including tear gas, rubber pellets and bullets) by security forces:

Protests Rock Bolivia's Government by Tom Lewis Internationalist Socialist Review, April 2003 Demonstrators rocked the government of Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Losada in an outpouring of rage against the International Monetary Fund February 11-14. Two days earlier Sanchez de Losada had decreed a 12.5 percent hike in the income tax for workers earning more than four times the minimum wage. In a nation ravaged by underemployment, the new tax would have gouged full-time workers by increasing salary deductions to over 30 percent. When Bolivians learned that an International Monetary Fund (IMF) "adjustment" plan lay behind the government's decree, they targeted the national government in protest. Sanchez de Losada justified the tax as necessary to comply with an IMF requirement that Bolivia reduce its fiscal deficit from 8.6 to 5.5 percent. To many Bolivians, the president appeared as a lackey of international capital. Violent clashes left 33 dead and 170 wounded in the streets of La Paz, Cochabamba and other cities. After responding with iron repression, Sanchez de Losada sought to save his own skin. He placed the hated tax on hold and vowed to maintain the buying power of workers' wages. He later sought and obtained the resignations of his entire cabinet.

60. Who's Counting? U.S. Plan To Eradicate Coca Crops In Bolivia Fails Miserably But the Bolivian government gives the number as 12000, and many families Yet the Bolivian government may have less tolerance for carnage than the State http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/South_America/Whos_Counting_Bolivia.html

Who's Counting? U.S. plan to eradicate coca crops in Bolivia fails miserably by Benjamin Kunkel and Lisa Kunkel In These Times magazine, May 13, 2002 The lush, rugged Chapare region of Bolivia is home to some 35,000 families engaged in growing coca, a plant that has been cultivated here since human settlement. Over the past 14 years, the Chapare has also been the site of U.S.-sponsored efforts by the Bolivian government to eradicate coca. This campaign, now called Plan Dignity, intensified in 1998 and seemed successful in December 2000, when the Bolivian government announced the total elimination of coca in the region. But that was only if you didn't look too closely. A month later, officials stated that 1,400 acres of coca had been missed. Nine months later, the number of acres under cultivation was estimated at 9,900, and the potential Bolivian contribution to the world cocaine market was placed at 66 tons, or 6 million grams. The other apparent success on this front of the Andean drug war has been, in the words of the State Department, to "enable farmers to support themselves and their families without the need to cultivate coca." The State Department's annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report claims that 16,167 families have received American assistance to grow alternative crops, such as bananas, macadamia nuts and oranges. But the Bolivian government gives the number as 12,000, and many families growing other crops have preserved their coca as well. As farmer Jotge Cala llto says, "Surely I'm among the 12,000 beneficiaries the minister has indicated, but I can tell you that I still have coca because that is our only source of survival."
