Events Detail

Bolivia is a country that continues to be deeply divided, and Evo Morales, the country's first indigenous president, has not emerged as the great unifier that many initially believed he would be. Under his presidency, tensions with the United States have grown, and the divisions are getting even deeper. The radical course that Bolivia is following has taken place under the aegis of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.
