| description | Bolivia has been experimenting for more than three decades a process of democratic openness, but this process does not consist in strengthening the institutions of the Bolivian State or in making more effective electoral mechanisms. Rather, it consists in structurally questioning that particular form of understanding politics and reducing it to state dynamics. The main objective of the paper is to demonstrate that, beyond institutional strengthening, the changes in Bolivia respond to an opening to other sectors of Bolivian society that had been marginalized. And that inclusion process generated a radical transformation, which has no setback, because it included the look and forms of organization of those who were being excluded, because it gave the floor to new worldviews that have transformed the political dynamics in the country, at the moment of limiting it. This process is characterized by the inclusion of community ethical principles that question the foundation of Western bourgeois society. |

The main objective of the paper is to demonstrate that, beyond institutional strengthening, the changes in Bolivia respond to an opening to other sectors of Bolivian society that had been marginalized.

Bolivia experimenta desde hace más de tres décadas un proceso de apertura democrática, pero ese proceso no consiste en el fortalecimiento de las instituciones del Estado boliviano, ni en hacer más efectivos los mecanismos electorales, consiste, más bien, en cuestionar estructuralmente esa forma particular de comprender la política y de reducirla a las dinámicas estatales. El texto tiene como objetivo principal demostrar que más allá de un fortalecimiento institucional, los cambios en Bolivia responden a una apertura hacia otros sectores de la sociedad boliviana que habían sido marginados. Y que ese proceso de inclusión generó una transformación radical, que no tiene retroceso, porque incluyó la mirada y las formas de organización de quienes estaban siendo excluidos, porque le dio la palabra a nuevas cosmovisiones que han transformado la dinámica política en el país, en el momento de ponerle límite. Este proceso se caracteriza por la inclusión de principios éticos comunitarios que cuestionan el fundamento de la sociedad burguesa occidental.
