    Estados plurinacionales en Bolivia y Ecuador. Nuevas ciudadanías, ¿más democracia?
    in Nueva Sociedad , n. 240 ,  2012
    Upon recognizing themselves as plurinational States, Ecuador and Bolivia are rethinking the forms of construction of citizenship and democracy in force since the 19th century, with the objective of reflecting the diversity of their societies. The possibilities of reconstructing the state configurations are based in the recognition of two new subjects: nacionalidades in Ecuador, naciones and pueblos indígena-originario-campesinos in Bolivia. However, the figures of self-government often clash with the objectives of the governments of Evo Morales and Rafael Correa in constructing active and strong States. For this, the transition to democratization is full of obstacles and paradoxical paths.
