por Pablo StefanoniThe triumph of Evo Morales in the 6th December elections, with 64% of the votes, completely reshapes the Bolivian political field and consolidates the first new way in politics since 1952.

This article sustains that political-sociological rapprochement would allow light to be thrown on the social bases (and ambivalences) of the current process of change: in particular, enabling popular nationalism to be identified, which acts as a unifying nucleus of the governing party.
