The Situation in Bolivia On the Eve of the National Referendum

Host: Hudson Institute. On the eve of the national recall vote scheduled for August 10 that could end Evo Morales’ reign, Hudson’s Center for Latin American Studies is pleased to bring together Eduardo Paz, President of the Business Chamber of Santa Cruz, an autonomous region within Bolivia, and Stephen Donehoo, Managing Director of McLarty Associates, to discuss the social and economic context of this referendum. Will Morales ignore a possible negative outcome? What are the alternatives, and what effect will they have not only on the Bolivian political sphere, but also in general on South America?
