De fazeres nativos a saberes ativos: uma análise da refundação do estado boliviano e da construção de um direito internacional dos povos indígenas

Abstract

This paper proposes to examine the importance of the role of indigenous communities in the process of renewal of Bolivian constitution, as well as on the advances of international law dedicated to indigenous issues. Once the social articulation and politicization of bolivian ethnic communities seem to provide a paradigmatic example of the understanding of Indian activism beyond national borders, the attention devoted to it will be central, whose focus will be broadened in the final part of this dissertation. Whereas there is no conjucture analysis that can dispense the historic bailout, the treatment to the approval of the New Bolivian Constitution is supported by a welldefined historical setting. The approach try to bring together different areas of knowledge, preserving the multidisciplinarity that makes the study of international relations. Thus, the first chapter, devoted to retelling the Bolivian history from the perspective of indigenous communities, also enjoy of the theoretical framework of anthropology. The second chapter, in turn, involves the analysis of the reforms that is coming through the Bolivian National State today, highlighting the active participation of civil society - especially indigenous - in the construction of a new constitutional agenda for the country. This approach will be followed by some polls about what it proposes to call an "International Law of Indigenous Peoples," witch, as well as the rebuilding of bolivian State, is also anchored on Indian activism. The analyses of the theme of this chapter shall be gathered law and political science. Finally, the conclusion, follows on some notes by Edgar Morin, and from them, the search for an understanding about the context that the experience witch is example the "neoconstitutionalism" in Bolivia, where the experimentalism and hope seem to be the key to confronting the uncertainties of the future.
