The basis of Evo Morales’s MAS party stems from being an inclusive party rather than an exclusive. Within the borders of Bolivia there is a large indigenous population that resides in rural areas; by this population being excluded from society as it disables its ability to voice its opinions and concerns on a national level—driving the community away from political power. This strategy of inclusiveness embodies a populist party; according to Raul Madrid, author of Ethnic Politics in Latin America, Madrid views the MAS not as a populist party, but rather an ethnopopulist party—focusing “on the types of appeals that the [party] makes[s] rather than on their organizational structure” (Madrid 9). Furthermore, utilizing methods such as: establishing…
republic with Evo Morales as a President. The country has a democratic government with the Asamblea Legislativa Plurinacional as the fundamental legislative branch of power. The executive power is held by the President while the juridical branch is maintained by the Supreme Court. There is also a non-traditional branch of power, which is the Plurinational Electoral Organ. The aim…
In the second part of this essay, I will elaborate my argument by considering Morales’ government policy in Bolivia, Cash-Transfer projects in Mozambique and Basic Income Grants in South Africa and elsewhere. In the final part of this essay, I will argue that just as we should be aware of the ways post-neoliberal development policy has moved away from the neoliberal political project, we should also be aware that this does not mean they escape the issues associated with accepting neoliberal…
What is morale? That is a very common question asked by people no matter what age. When describing what morale’s are we go into depth about how people feel about the company they work for, the employers they work under, the task they are set to accomplish, and the main thing is the behaviour and attitude tied to those different feelings. It’s important for employers to be able to take care of their work force and foster high morale so that they will be able to keep their organizations running…
project deadlines, rather it’s how to evaluate, improve, and maintain employee morale. During my Management 150 course there were six words that will forever stay imbedded in my mind, “Managers direct people, Leaders motivate people.” A Gallup study has reported, only thirty percent of U.S. employees are engaged at work, and as low as thirteen percent worldwide. Gallup defines “engaged” employees as those who are involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and workplace. So…
The morality of Justice Wargrave can be easily debated. He has a strong sense of justice. His sense of justice indicates he has a high morale code. On the other hand, he has a need to kill. Justice Wargrave loves to see things suffer. The need to kill would mean he has a low morale code. The morality of Justice Wargrave is easily confusing but one stage of morality can explain Justice Wargrave. There are six stages of morality. Everyone starts at stage one. You never go back a stage and you…
not necessarily in their benefit. Yet, drastic change was on its way as the overwhelming victory of anti-neoliberal political movements made Evo Morales, the leader of the political party MAS (movement towards socialism), the new leader of the…
Bolivia has had many leaders in it’s history, but up until 30 years ago it was taken over by a military coup . The president of present day Bolivia is Evo Morales. Evo Morales was elected in 2005 and is the first indigenous leader the country has had ("Bolivia Government Type and Structure. Government Branches in Bolivia”). The currency used in Bolivia is the boliviano. The boliviano is only worth about fourteen cents in U.S. dollars ("Convert United States Dollar to Bolivian Boliviano | USD to…
Evidence illustrates that governments with radically different programs either eventually compromise their position or are overthrown out of office.* From the information gathered in the Economist article, I predict Mr. Morales has no intention to compromise his Socialist position. I would also predict that the government will be unable to maintain an efficient level of investment in productivity that would otherwise be provided by the private sector. The Social Revolution, while robust and…
(Leventhal) "More than half the population still speaks tribal languages that existed prior to the Incan conquest in the fifteenth century." (Norman B. Leventhal Map Center) Bolivia has been ruled by seekers, seeking difference along the countries lines. The Spanish ruling first then the indigenous descendants from Europe taking over. (Leventhal) While Bolivia was in ocean of poverty and corruption between governments, the urban and rural poor protesting for more economic growth has allowed…
