The landslide election of Evo Morales in December 2005 pointed toward a process of accelerated change in Bolivia, forging a path away from globalization and the neoliberal paradigm in favor of greater national control and state intervention. This in turn shifted the power relations of Bolivia's internal politics-beginning with greater inclusion of the indigenous population-and altered the nation's foreign relations. Unresolved Tensions engages this realignment from a variety of analytical perspectives, using the Morales election as a lens through which to reassess Bolivia's contemporary political reality and its relation to a set of deeper historical issues. This volume brings together an expert group of commentators and participants from within the Bolivian political arena to offer diverse perspectives and competing views on issues of ethnicity, regionalism, state-society relations, constitutional reform, economic development, and globalization. In this way, the contributors seek to reassess Bolivia's past, present, and future, consider the ways in which the nation's historical developments flow from these deeper currents, and assess the opportunities and challenges that arise within the new political context.

While leftist governments have been elected across Latin America, this pink tide has failed to reach Peru. Instead, Peru remains a stark example of state capture, with a firmly entrenched corporate elite holding a monopoly on political power. With a particular focus on the role of the mining industry, Peru: Elite Power and Political Capture looks at the ways in which, following the 2016 elections, these elites have been able to consolidate their position at the expense of genuine democracy. In the process, John Crabtree and Francisco Durand provide a unique case study of state development by revealing the mechanisms used by elites to dominate political discussion and marginalise their opponents, as well as the role played by international financial institutions and foreign investors. The significance of their findings therefore extends far beyond Peru, and illuminates the wider issue of why mineral-rich countries so often struggle to attain meaningful democracy. Book jacket.
