The Bolivia Brief - Siege Mentality

"Even if settled tomorrow, the crisis energized the Colla-Camba tensions, reinforced the zero-sum game dynamic of Bolivian politics, and will put the issue of federalism and even secession back on the table."

The #Bolivia Brief: Land Reform and Second Round Gubernatorial Elections
The law’s quick passage, with minimal public debate, was remarkable for a legislature that has, so far, managed to pass very little substantive legislation...

The Reform Agenda: Trading Tehran for the Donroe Doctrine
#Bolivia has ended its vague military cooperation with Iran...the move plays into an emerging U.S.-promoted system: regional multipolarity.

#Bolivia Brief: #gasolinabasura
A transnational fuel theft and adulteration ring is a threat to trust and transparency in Bolivia's government.

The #Bolivia Brief - Politics and Economy Roundup
Subnational elections deliver a new political map; Paz delivers drug lord Marset to the U.S. Bolivia wins a key credit upgrade but war-driven spikes in fuel, food prices put the government in a bind.

The Bolivia Brief: The Effects of War in Iran
In short term, #Bolivia may see windfalls from rising #gold and #fertilizer prices. But, as global #OilPriceHike and the #dollar strengthens, any gains will likely be eclipsed by the rising cost of living

Bolivia: Una superpotencia emergente de superalimentos https://t.co/19bSrrDqYb

From this week's #Bolivia Brief: can Bolivia harness #lithium to plug a growing budget hole as gas revenues decline, and can it do so in time to make looming debt payments? I interviewed Raul Velasquez, from the prestigious Fundación Jubileo...

Bolivia's superfoods represent a potentially lucrative investment opportunity. To truly thrive, Bolivia must pivot from being the world’s supplier of raw materials to a direct provider of finished, high-value products.

Bolivia Brief - Subnational Elections Primer
On March 22, 2026, Bolivians return to the polls to elect nearly 5,000 officials...a referendum on the “post-MAS” era and the country’s new direction.

"Bolivia’s new government has flung open the doors to economic reengagement with western multilateral finance and investment. This opening...is something of a gamble, but one it had little choice but to make."

From the #Bolivia Brief: "Beyond the immediate hit to travelers’ wallets though, the policy shift likely signals the beginning of the end for BoA’s near-total monopoly on Bolivian air travel–and opportunity for investors and competitors."

As we are seeing in Venezuela, Bolivia’s reformist government is also learning just how hard it is to rebuild trust, credibility, and stability following decades of institutional decay. My latest, from the Bolivia Brief:

Uninvestable? https://t.co/ZZCwm2RgmF

[casey cagley @cecagley]

The #protests and blockades are led primarily by the COB, under the banner “#Bolivia no se Vende”...for now there is a sense of resignation pervasive among Bolivians that indicates that this measure will survive.
