The Inter-American Dialogue is delighted to publish this paper by one of Bolivia's leading social scientists, George Gray Molina, who has extensive policy experience and is currently an academic fellow at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University  of Oxford. He disentangles the exceedingly complex situation in Bolivia by identifying the interests and roles of the key actors involved. Gray sheds light on the sources of the political stalemate in advance of the August 10 recall referendum and outlines three scenarios for Bolivian politics in the period to follow.
