Interminable Revolution: Populism and Frustration in 20th Century Bolivia
In: SAIS Review, Band 27, Heft 1, S. 21-33
While scholars have tended to view the rise of Evo Morales in the light of a regional resurgence of populism, the author argues that we may gain better insight into the significance & role of Morales when viewed against a backdrop of Bolivian political & social history. In particular, the author suggests that Bolivian political instability is rooted in popular power, & that in this context, it may be useful to regard populism itself as a feature of Bolivian political development, rather than as a distinct political phenomenon.
