Abstract

Political science in Bolivia initiated its organization and formal development with the recovery of democracy in 1982. Since 1993, in addition to those political scientists educated in Europe and Mexico, a small group of locally graduated political scientists from the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés has played a
significant role designing the reforms to the political system. Nonetheless, as a result of deep social conflicts, the country has institutionally moved backwards and the discipline must return its focus to the basics, such as the revalorisation of the democratic system. Also, the organizations that agglutinate political scientists are very new; therfore, these are forced to first consolidate as institutions in order to develop other activities including a broader agenda in the discipline.
