description | Bolivia and Ecuador are undergoing important changes as their social and political forces shift. In the face of a new scenario, organizations, social movements, and collectives in both countries have reinvented strategies and relationships with their current governments. The political opportunities structure that arose when Movimiento al Socialismo and Alianza País came into power brought certain networks and activists into administration, and drove others into protest. Consequently, there has been a decrease in the movements’ capacity for mobilization over the last few years, but also an increase in the number of protests. This article interprets the above phenomenon. |

This article interprets the above phenomenon. Bolivia y Ecuador atraviesan un proceso de cambios en el sistema político y una reconfiguración de las fuerzas sociales y políticas. Frente a un nuevo escenario, las organizaciones, movimientos sociales y colectivos han cambiado sus formas de acción y relacionamiento con los actuales gobiernos. La nueva estructura de oportunidades políticas fruto de la llegada al poder del Movimiento al Socialismo y de Alianza País produjo el desplazamiento de algunas redes y activistas de los movimientos sociales hacia la administración y otros hacia la protesta. Con ello, durante los últimos años se evidencia una menor capacidad de movilización aunque también un repunte de las protestas. El presente artículo busca interpretar el fenómeno descrito.
