Summary:
Widespread protests against the privatization of water in 2000 brought Cochabamba, Bolivia, into the international limelight and propelled a process of further mobilizations that utterly reconfigured the country’s political landscape. Popular struggles shook the country, expelled powerful multinational corporations, brought down two presidents, and led to the election of Evo Morales, the first indigenous president in the country’s history.
