This in turn shifted the power relations of Bolivia's internal politics-beginning with greater inclusion of the indigenous population-and altered the nation's foreign relations. Unresolved Tensions engages this realignment from a variety of analytical perspectives, using the Morales election as a lens through which to reassess Bolivia's contemporary politicsPitt Latin American series.BoliviaPolitics and government1982-2006BoliviaEconomic conditions1982-BoliviaRace relations306.20984Crabtree John1950-883254Whitehead LaurenceMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827009403321Unresolved tensions4053397UNINA
