Pluralismo jurídico, autonomía y separatismo en Bolivia

Abstract

The article proposes to unveil some of the paradoxes resulting from the new Bolivian Constitution, especially those deriving from a) the end of the traditional division between strong and weak pluralism, b) the duplication of powers that presupposes the exercise of an indigenous citizenry that expresses itself at the individual and community level, and c) the possibility of altering state functioning as a privileged undertaking open to economic capital and traditional private interests.
