Internal and external influences on international cooperation in Bolivia during the MAS government (2006-2019)

Abstract

On reaching Bolivia administration in 2006, the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) proposed to reestablish the State under the philosophy of Vivir Bien. This change of narrative was evident in all areas, and as a consequence, it impacted the internal and external politics of the country. Likewise, changes in the international system had an effect on the actions of the Bolivian government during that period. In this article, the main events of the foreign policy and the International Cooperation System will be described in order to analyze the change of the role granted to international cooperation in Bolivia during the governments of Morales-Linera.
