QUEEN MARY University of London and the INSTITUTE OF LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES are pleased to announce a round table celebrating Bolivia’s elections:
‘ELECTIONS IN BOLIVIA: WHAT CHANGES?’
Tuesday 5 November 2019
from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Queen Mary University of London (Mile End Campus)
David Sizer LT, Ground Floor, Bancroft Building

On 20 October 2019, Bolivia held presidential and parliamentary elections. The results are contested but the strong showing of the opposition may indicate social, political and economic change after almost 14 years of the self-proclaimed left-wing and indigenous government of Evo Morales. What does this mean for Bolivia? How does this election fit into the recent political shifts in the region?
In this Round Table, four experts from across the social sciences will discuss these questions two weeks after the Bolivian elections and, maybe, several weeks before the second round of the presidential elections:
- Andrew Canessa (University of Essex);
- Enrique Castañón (SOAS University of London);
- Lorenza Fontana (University of Newcastle, TBC);
- Angus McNelly (Queen Mary University of London).
Moderated by Into Goudsmit (Goldsmiths University of London).
These scholars will address key issues such as social and industrial policies, justice and human rights, indigenous identity and autonomy, electoral politics and the return of the right, coca and the coca unions, mining and hydrocarbon dependency, land politics and agrobusiness, and the informal economy.
We hope we can welcome you to participate in this round table, taking place at a critical moment in Bolivia’s recent history.
