Abstract: Abstract The indigenous population of Bolivia increased from 1.7 million in 1950 to 3.9 million in 2001. It is estimated that in 2000 indigenous peoples accounted for 62 per cent of the total population (see Chapter 2). The growing importance given to indigenous social movements in national policy, often following radical demonstrations, is intended to end social exclusion and increase recognition of Bolivia’s diversity. Social change could add to the aspirations of these movements and pave the way for national development based on identity and diversity.
