          Abstract

          El 2012 estuvo caracterizado por positivos avances económicos pero con una conflictiva agenda social en Bolivia. Entre los temas álgidos estuvieron el conflicto sobre la construcción de una carretera en territorio indígena (conocido como TIPNIS), la huelga general del sector salud y los enfrentamientos entre mineros cooperativistas y asalariados del gobierno. Si bien la administración de Morales logró dar respuesta a algunos de estos temas, adoptando un rol conciliador ante una creciente fragmentación social, otros permanecen en la agenda, como el TIPNIS, donde la batalla se trasladará de las calles al campo constitucional. En la agenda internacional primaron el conflicto con Chile por el acceso al mar y la todavía conflictiva relación de este país con los Estados Unidos. En general fue un año de buenas y malas noticias.

          Translated abstract

          2012 in Bolivia was characterized by positive economic progress but with a conflictive social agenda Among the sensitive issues were the conflict over the construction of a highway through indigenous territory (known as TIPNIS), the general strike of health workers and the clash between miners working in cooperatives and those working for the state. Although Morales' administration was able to solve some of these problems, adopting a conciliator role in a growing scenario of social fragmentation, other topics remain in the agenda such as the TIPNIS, where the battleground is moving from the streets to the constitutional arena. The most important topics in the international agenda were the unsolved territorial dispute with Chile over access to the Pacific Ocean and the lukewarm relations with the U.S. In general, it was a year between good and bad news.
