description | The governments of the Movement Towards Socialism implemented
profound structural reforms in the Bolivian State, encompassing legal and regulatory
aspects and citizen relations, as well as the symbolic production of the State. The
creation of the Plurinational State implied reforms in the legal, normative and
doctrinal frameworks, based on an institutionalized collective imaginary. This
ideological-political construct, known as "national popular" (Cf. Infra), became state
policies under the Suma Qamaña model. This doctrine, which emerged from the
interpretations, discourses and representations of the various trade union strata of the
Movement Towards Socialism, guided the restructuring of the formal spheres of the
Bolivian State.
The study of how the Plurinational State constructed, signified and
operationalized the concept of "security" revealed the social relations underlying the
political processes and some consequences of its implementation at the societal level.
This includes the process of normalization and internalization of a political-citizen
habitus, which develops mainly in the informal sphere of social relations, in clear
contradiction with the limits and objectives established by the formal sphere. Such
habitus not only permeates civil society interactions, but also has a profound impact on
the governance and management of state and public policies, as well as on their scope,
effectiveness and relevance in relation to the civil society to which they are beholden.
This highlights the contradictions between the State, its organs and institutions, and the
corporate and union interests that make up the political hegemony of the MAS.
