	Strategic Insights -- Bolivia at the Crossroads: Interpreting the December 2005 Election
		Bolivia’s 2002 election brought into sharp relief the growing disconnect between the country’s established political parties and the indigenous groups who were increasingly mobilized and yet still locked out of key decision-making institutions at the national level.
		Thus, Morales was able to position himself in the December 2005 election as a defender of national interests relative to transnational interests, a stance that substantially contributed to his victory.
		In contrast, the 2005 election results may enhance the prospects for accountability in Bolivia because Morales and the MAS know that they alone will be held responsible for the quality of governance in the next five years.

	Update on Chilean Politics
		Just as the municipal election campaign season got underway, revelations on secret bank accounts held by the Pinochet family in a Washington D.C. bank forced Chileans to face once again their troubled past of authoritarian rule.
		Because those funds were not reported to Chilean tax authorities and were not previously known by the public, the perception that Pinochet used government funds to increase his personal wealth led many to accuse him of corruption.
		True, Alvear’s support and momentum seems to be going down, but the fact that she has been the favorite candidate among most of the leaders of the Concertación for the past years will help her temporarily reduce the negative effect of her decline in public opinion polls.

	Update on chilean politics february 2005
		As the Chilean political elites goes on vacation in February, the discussion over the mechanism to select the Concertación presidential candidate and the quarrels among conservative forces seem to indicate that the two main political coalitions are stubbornly making use of their strengths and incapable of overcoming their weaknesses.
		In addition, having won 3 of the 5 races he has participated (he lost a chamber of deputies election in 1989 and the presidential election in 1999), Lavín is a more experienced campaigner than either Bachelet or Alvear.
		Asking judges to deliver sentences in a timely fashion (before mid 2005), the government and the Supreme Court seem to agree that whatever bitter pill needs to be swallowed by the military, it should happen soon.
