This paper discusses the various political and social conflicts that led to the 2009 Bolivian constitution, which 1) redefined the overall identity of the state, 2) strengthened the collective rights of indigenous peoples, and 3) introduced new mechanisms for political participation and decision-making within the country. The paper concludes that while the revised constitution has improved Bolivia's political culture, the country's socio-political transition process is not yet complete.
