This study maps the political and social arrangements in eight departments in Bolivia: La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, Beni, Oruro, Potosí, Chuquisaca and Tarija. The objective of the study is to contribute to the on-going debate on geographically based political divides in Bolivia.

Bolivia has experienced significant social and political unrest in recent years, culminating in protests that led to the fall of the government of Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada in 2003 and the resignation of his successor, Carlos Mesa. Key issues in these protests were the use of natural resources, the marginalization of large sectors of the Bolivian electorate, especially indigenous people and peasant farmers, and departmental autonomy. The Bolivian political landscape is changing and that includes new territorial scenarios and new political players that are shaped by the events transforming the country

On a departmental level, geographically-based political divides create a situation that does not necessarily follow trends on the national level. The regions are often described as a new platform for opposition, but the political processes and institutions still needs strengthening.
