“…These laws and others in the Plan for Everyone went along with a predominant discourse on the multicultural society, which has gradually influenced the political agendas of many Latin American states over the past two decades (Strobele-Gregor et al 1994;Albó and Barnadas 1990). The IMF sponsored these reforms with a view to "strengthening institutions that develop and implement social programs and execute projects of social infrastructure," a step that was seen as vital to "sustained" growth and the investment climate (IMF 1997, 17).…”

This article argues that the common narrative of a Bolivian backlash against neoliberalism should be reconsidered in light of the continuities and mutual constraints between popular mobilization and neoliberal policy reforms. The study draws on literature that conceptualizes neoliberalism as a particular construction of state and social forms; but unlike those works, it includes an analysis of International Monetary Fund policy shifts to understand how popular mobilization constrains policy implementation. Responding to popular mobilization between 1985 and 2006, the IMF came to accept divergence from orthodox policy in order to encourage political stability. The government of Evo Morales and the IMF are mutually constrained by concern for the investment climate. This study further advocates that analysts probe beyond simple binary divisions between “neoliberalism” and “alternatives” and look more seriously for pragmatic strategies for negotiating neoliberal spaces.

“…The dilemma of tourism is that while it incorporates Andean people in a consumer-oriented global economy, the majority remain poor and do not have sufficient access to productive resources. The recognition of Andean culture in mainstream policy and the promotion of cultural tourism have not contributed to solving problems of social marginalization (Strobele-Gregor et al, 1994).…”

Globalization has vastly increased the number of people travelling the globe. More than half a million tourists visit the Andean Highlands each year, many of them following the "Inca route" between Peru and Bolivia in pursuit of adventurous moments and "authentic" experiences. The governments of Peru and Bolivia have embraced cultural tourism as a strategy for economic growth, the alleviation of poverty, the conservation of cultural heritage and the protection of indigenous rights. To understand the long-term implications of tourism in the Andes, however, we need to understand what draws tourists to the area, how local people view the visitors, how locals and outsiders variously understand "poverty", and how global travelling affects opportunities for local development. Based on a combined analysis of travel guides, interviews with Peruvian and Bolivian Andeanists and fieldwork in the southern Andes of Bolivia, this article explores perceptions of place, poverty, and international tourism's potential for economic development in the Andean region. While cultural tourism has incorporated Andean people in the consumer-oriented global economy, the majority remain socially marginalized and without sufficient access to productive resources.
