Abstract

In the present paper we propose an analysis of the emergence and the development of the coca cultivating peasant’s movement in Bolivia in the 1980 and 1990. We consider here the causes of the rise of the ‘cocalero’ movement in the wider politic and social context of the country in this historical moment. As well, we develop a reflexion about the development of the movement after that the political party MAS, who’s it was one of the charter members, arrives in the government.
