This paper examines the prevalence of the US on security and defense issues in Bolivia between 2000 and 2019, focusing on both security and military assistance during the governments of Movimiento al Socialismo -MAS- (2006-2019). The methodology used in this research is an empirical analysis based on the re-systematization of the official US foreign aid database, and its triangulation with other official primary sources. It is concluded that despite Bolivian efforts to strengthen its political autonomy, the US managed to adjust its policies in a way that established relevant continuity in security and defense. The main contribution of the study to the topic under discussion is to set a precedent for the need to apply source triangulation and to discuss the construction of indicators. |

Este artículo aborda la incidencia de Estados Unidos en el ámbito de la seguridad y la defensa en Bolivia, entre 2000 y 2019, poniendo el foco en la asistencia militar y en seguridad durante los años en que gobernó el Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS): 2006-2019. Se realiza un análisis empírico a partir de metodología propia basada en la resistematización de la base de datos oficial de Estados Unidos sobre asistencia extranjera y su triangulación con otras fuentes primarias oficiales. Se concluye que, pese a los esfuerzos de Bolivia por postular una política más autónoma en el ámbito de la seguridad y la defensa, Estados Unidos logró adaptar sus políticas, por lo que se perciben importantes continuidades en la asistencia. El principal aporte de la investigación al campo del conocimiento abordado es que sienta un precedente sobre la necesidad de aplicar la triangulación de fuentes y discutir la construcción de indicadores.
