Recent macroeconomic data seem to indicate that Bolivia is finally moving toward the path of development. The country has experienced strong economic growth, and government forecasts predict good economic performance in the coming years. However, a closer look at the international situation and the ongoing controversies and confrontations that characterize socio-political relations reveal an exacerbation of tensions stemming from a state unable to solve structural problems. These tensions are notably manifested in the positioning of two opposing and mutually exclusive visions that compete for political hegemony, emerging from a process of polarization. This paper examines the nature of the new Political Constitution of the State and its possible impacts on the country's development.
