In its 182 years of independence Bolivia has had 21 different Constitutions, numerous constitutional modifications, and several Assemblies and Constitutional Conventions.  The current constitution and its two modifications have seen over a decade of political-institutional crisis and Bolivians are eager for the Constituent Assembly to resolve the lingering crisis with a new constitution that, above all, guarantees the rights of all citizens.

This study was conducted between June 2006 and July 2007 with the following three methods: (1) a qualitative analysis of social representation from 225 in-depth interviews (2) a national survey of public opinion with 3,300 case studies from rural and urban areas (3) six control surveys that presented 2,100 cases of public opinion that were carried out in each of the regional department’s capital cities and El Alto

This book provides insight into Bolivians’ attitudes toward how their political system functions and the type of nation they envision for the future.
