Independence: August 6, 1825. Constitution: 1967; revised 1994. Branches: Executive president and cabinet. Legislative bicameral Congress. Judicial five levels of jurisdiction, headed by Supreme Court. Subdivisions: Nine departments. Major political parties: Nationalist Revolutionary Movement (MNR), Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR), Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), New Republican Force (NFR). Suffrage: Universal adult, obligatory. Bolivia Government 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.

Bolivia South America GOVERNMENT 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 plagued by 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. Bolivian cities and towns are governed by directly elected mayors and councils. Municipal elections were held in December 2004, with councils elected to 5-year terms. The popular participation law of April 1994, which requires a 20% allocation of national revenues to municipalities for discretionary use, has enabled previously neglected communities to make improvements in their facilities and services. Current Administration Since then, President Morales has moved to fulfill his campaign promises, promoting policies to decriminalize coca cultivation, including raising the ceiling for licit coca cultivation from 12,000 hectares to 20,000 hectares. On May 1, 2006 the government issued a decree "nationalizing" the hydrocarbons sector and calling for the renegotiation of contracts with hydrocarbons companies. In November 2006 the government and companies signed new contracts that should result in higher revenues for the government; however, errors in the contracts may require further negotiations. These policies have pleased Morales' supporters, but have complicated Bolivia's relations with some of its neighboring countries, foreign investors, and members of the international community.

Article from: NotiSur - South American Political and Economic Affairs Article date: November 17, 2006 Customer Support Related articles Bolivian President Evo Morales celebrated the signing of new contracts with foreign companies that extract natural gas from his country at the end of October, boasting that his government had completed the "nationalization" of its hydrocarbons resources. Negotiations with Brazil's state-owned petroleum company formed the largest challenge to the nationalization project, but the two sides appeared to have come to an agreement by Nov. 1, the end of the six-month deadline Morales set for the natural-gas nationalization to be completed. Morales: We will continue recovering natural resources Morales announced the nationalization of Bolivia's ample natural-gas resources on May 1 of this year, sending troops to occupy gas fields owned by foreign petroleum companies (see NotiSur, 2006-05-12). The move strained Bolivia-Brazil relations since Brazil's state-owned oil company Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) stood to lose huge assets, and negotiations between Bolivia's government and Petrobras remained unfinished until the last minute.

Evo Morales From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Evo Morales President of Bolivia Incumbent January 22, 2006 Álvaro García Linera Eduardo Rodríguez Born 26 October 1959 Orinoca Oruro Bolivia Nationality Bolivian Ethnicity Aymara MAS Occupation Trade unionist Religion Roman Catholicism Incanism Juan Evo Morales Ayma (born October 26, 1959), popularly known as Evo [ˈeβo] ), has been the President of Bolivia since 2006. Morales was first elected President of Bolivia on December 18, 2005, with 53.7% of the popular vote. Two and a half years later he substantially increased this majority; in a recall referendum on August 14, 2008, more than two thirds of voters voted to keep him in office. Morales won presidential elections again in December 2009 by 63% and continued to his second term of presidency. Morales is the leader of a political party called the Movement for Socialism Movimiento al Socialismo , with the Spanish acronym MAS , meaning "more"). MAS was involved in social protests such as the gas conflict and the Cochabamba protests of 2000 , along with many other groups, that are collectively referred to as " social movements " in Bolivia. The MAS aims at giving more power to the country's indigenous and poor communities by means of land reforms and redistribution of gas wealth.

current issue back issues why an alternative press activist calendar ... contact Bolivia: Government introduces anti-poverty measures Friday, February 22, 2008 - 11:00 By Rachel Evans Cochabamba On February 1 the Bolivian government introduced its "dignity pension" — a pension payment for those over 60 years-old that is a first of its kind in Bolivia. The pension will provide US$315 per month to almost 700,000 people. The benefit will be largely financed via 30% of the revenue generated from the introduction of a direct tax on hydrocarbons. This money comes direct from the popular nationalisation of gas by the left-wing government of Evo Morales in May 2006 — a key demand of the mass movements that overthrew the two previous presidents and a major component of the platform Morales was elected on in December 2005. On February 1 La Razon quoted the minister for rural development arguing that the pension and a new subsidy for schooling "will reduce incidences of poverty in the country from 59.9% to 42.4% until 2015". La Razon also quoted Sacha Llorenti, the vice-minister for co-ordination with the social movements, who insisted that "the payment of the dignity pension is absolutely guaranteed".
