SUMMARY:

The present thesis seeks to understand and explain the international dimension of the Bolivian
proceso de cambio, that is, to understand the implications that Evo Morales' period at Bolivian
presidency (2006-2019) had for the definition of the country's foreign policy and for the
management of its international relations in South America. Thus, this paper aims to answer the
following research question: how has Bolivian foreign policy during Evo Morales' administration
influenced regional processes in South America, specifically ALBA-TCP, CAN, MERCOSUR and
UNASUR? The hypothesis defended points out that after 2006 there was a reconfiguration of
Bolivian foreign policy and the country began to pursue a more engaged participation in the
different regional processes in South America, alternating, within these blocks, moments of a
certain prominent role with a pragmatic stance. In order to verify the hypothesis, predominantly
bibliographical research was carried out, complemented by documentary research and the use of
semi-structured interviews. The purpose was to gather enough information to identify the
characteristics of Bolivia's foreign policy from 2006 on, and to explain the position and actions that
the country would present to its South American neighbors, specifically within the framework of
the regional processes mentioned above.
