Abstract: How to conciliate the territorialisation of institutions and an efficient institutional competition, when there is a problem of territories overlapping? ? The traditionally given answers, such as the institutional unicity and decentralization, may block the competition process, if these answers do not coincide with the way of life of people, to whom those solutions apply. This creates an instable and uncertain environment, where the institutions do not enable individual plans coordination. So this situation is the beginning of both a cultural break and the rising of a kind of institutional ambivalence. The illustration of this problematic will be made through the analysis of the 1994 Bolivian reforms, analysis that underlines two contradictory situations. One pacific solution to this problem could be considered through the adoption of the FOCJ model (Functional, Overlapping and Competing Juridictions), model of deterritorialization of institutions. Classification JEL : O17, O18, B52, N4.
