These figures are, however, still subject to treaty changes. AREA, POPULATION, ETC. The republic covers an area of 702,767 sq. miles (1,822,334 sq. kilometers) and ranks as third in size among the South American countries. In 1905 its population was estimated at 1,816,271, or a little more than five persons to every two square miles. Of these, 231,088 are reported as whites; 484,611 as mestizos, and 792,850 as Indians. Besides these, there were about 4,000 negroes, and the residue are of unascertained origin. The proportion of Catholics to non-Catholics is approximately as seventy-two to one. All these figures are taken with reserve, since the efforts at serious statistics are but very recent. Since the close of the war with Chile in 1881, Bolivia has had no sea-coast. It is bounded on the west, north-west, and north by Peru; on the north-east and east by Brazil; on the south-east by Paraguay; on the south by the Argentine Republic, and on the south-west by Chile. Its communications with the outer world were still defective in 1905. A line of steamers on the Lake Titicaca then plied between the Peruvian port of Puno and the Bolivian of Huaqui, and stage lines, between La Paz and the Chilian frontier. On the east side of the Andes, in the Basin of the Amazon, rivers, which are often interrupt ed in their upper course by rapids (cachuelas) afford the only means of transit. Bolivia had two short railroad lines of its own, besides the Chilian line to Oruro, of which the terminus is upon Bolivian soil. The two Bolivian railroads were trunk-lines, with an aggregate length of sixty-five miles. Work was, however, progressing on several other newly begun lines.

Manage alerts What is this? LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) At least two people were killed and nine injured when striking miners clashed with riot troops near the Bolivian capital Thursday. The protests broke out over a government plan to export natural gas through neighboring Chile. Government troops fired tear gas to disperse some 500 miners marching through the city of El Alto, on the outskirts of La Paz, in protest of the export plan proposed by President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada. Some miners responded by hurling lighted sticks of dynamite. One man died after a stick apprarently exploded in his hand, a police spokesman said. Authorities said it was unclear what caused the other death. Acrid white tear gas wafted through the air as masked protesters scrambled to flee rifle-toting government troops. Officers fired from behind plastic shields during the confrontations, that lasted for more than an hour.

Bolivia Background Bolivia, named after independence fighter Simon BOLIVAR, broke away from Spanish rule in 1825; much of its subsequent history has consisted of a series of nearly 200 coups and counter-coups. Comparatively democratic civilian rule was established in the 1980s, but leaders have faced difficult problems of deep-seated poverty, social unrest, and drug production. Current goals include attracting foreign investment, strengthening the educational system, resolving disputes with coca growers over Bolivia's counterdrug efforts, continuing the privatization program, and waging an anticorruption campaign.

    Extractions: Protests Rock Bolivia's Government by Tom Lewis Internationalist Socialist Review, April 2003 Demonstrators rocked the government of Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Losada in an outpouring of rage against the International Monetary Fund February 11-14. Two days earlier Sanchez de Losada had decreed a 12.5 percent hike in the income tax for workers earning more than four times the minimum wage. In a nation ravaged by underemployment, the new tax would have gouged full-time workers by increasing salary deductions to over 30 percent. When Bolivians learned that an International Monetary Fund (IMF) "adjustment" plan lay behind the government's decree, they targeted the national government in protest. After responding with iron repression, Sanchez de Losada sought to save his own skin. He placed the hated tax on hold and vowed to maintain the buying power of workers' wages. He later sought and obtained the resignations of his entire cabinet.

    Extractions: Bolivia's Water War Victory by Jim Schultz Earth Island Journal, Autumn 2000 At 10am, President Hugo Banzer places Bolivia under martial law. This drastic move concludes a week of protests, general strikes and transportation blockages that have jerked the country to a virtual standstill, and follows the surprise announcement of government concession to protesters' demands to break a $200 million contract selling Cochabamba's public water system to foreign investors. Ninety percent of Cochabamba's citizens believed it was time for Bechtel's subsidiary to return the water system to public control, according to results of a 60,000-person survey conducted in March. But it seems that the government has come to Bechtel's rescue, insisting the company remain in Bolivia. President Banzer, who ruled Bolivia as a dictator from 1971-78, has suspended almost all civil rights, banning gatherings of more than four people, and severely limiting freedom of the press. "We see it as our obligation, in the common best interest, to decree a state of emergency to protect law and order," Banzer trumpeted.

    Extractions: International Adoption Important Notice: Bolivia ratified the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption in Janaury 2002. The Government of Bolivia has informed the American Embassy in La Paz that Bolvia will approve international adoptions only when the prospective adopting parent(s) reside in countries which have become party to the Convention. Prospective parents who are legal residents of Bolivia or American-Bolivian dual nationals may adopt orphans under Bolivian law. The United States signed the Hague Convention in 1993. The State Department is preparing regulations to implement the Convention in the United States. It is expected that the Convention will enter into force in the United States in 2004. GENERAL: Although adoption of children in Bolivia by foreigners remains a sensitive issue, the Bolivian courts are willing to approve such adoptions. The extremely careful application of Bolivian regulations concerning adoption by the Bolivian Juvenile Courts and the regional Directorates for Minors is a result of changes in Bolivian adoption law and practice in the last decade in an effort to combat questionable adoption practices. Adoptive parents, single or married, must be over the age of 25. Prospective parents may also have biological children of their own or other adopted children. Bolivian law does not allow a natural parent to voluntarily relinquish parental rights. Abandonment must be approved by a Bolivian court.
