Download or read book Bolivia in the Age of Gas written by Bret Gustafson and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evo Morales, Bolivia's first Indigenous president, won reelection three times on a leftist platform championing Indigenous rights, anti-imperialism, and Bolivian control over the country's natural gas reserves. In Bolivia in the Age of Gas, Bret Gustafson explores how the struggle over natural gas has reshaped Bolivia, along with the rise, and ultimate fall, of the country's first Indigenous-led government. Rethinking current events against the backdrop of a longer history of oil and gas politics and military intervention, Gustafson shows how natural gas wealth brought a measure of economic independence and redistribution, yet also reproduced political and economic relationships that contradicted popular and Indigenous aspirations for radical change. Though grounded in the unique complexities of Bolivia, the volume argues that fossil-fuel political economies worldwide are central to the reproduction of militarism and racial capitalism and suggests that progressive change demands moving beyond fossil-fuel dependence and the social and ecological ills that come with it.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2017 Article IV Consultation highlights that Bolivia’s real GDP is expected to grow by 4 percent in 2017, relatively strong by regional standards. Accommodative fiscal policy, strong credit growth, and robust private consumption are expected to continue supporting activity while the fiscal and external current account deficits are likely to persist in the medium term. With weak private investment and the end of the commodity boom, growth is forecast to moderate gradually to 3.7 percent in the medium term. Key risks to this outlook include failure to discover new natural gas fields, further dollar strength, or lower-than-expected gas and minerals prices.

Download or read book Bolivia at the Crossroads written by Soledad Valdivia Rivera and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Bolivia reels from the collapse of the government in November 2019, a wave of social protests, and now the impact of Covid-19, this book asks: where next for Bolivia? After almost 14 years in power, the government of Bolivia’s first indigenous president collapsed in 2019 amidst widescale protest and allegations of electoral fraud. The contested transitional government that emerged was quickly struck by the impacts of the Covid-19 public health crisis. This book reflects on this critical moment in Bolivia’s development from the perspectives of politics, the economy, the judiciary and the environment. It asks what key issues emerged during Evo Morales’s administration and what are the main challenges awaiting the next government in order to steer the country through a new and uncertain road ahead. As the world considers what the ultimate legacy of Morales’s left-wing social experiment will be, this book will be of great interest to researchers across the fields of Latin American studies, development, politics, and economics, as well as to professionals active in the promotion of development in the country and the region.
