This is a wiki project dedicated to Bolivian government and politics, with a special focus on political parties. The central aim of the project is to provide a searchable and editable online database of Bolivian political parties and their key personnel. Entries are encyclopedic and are not meant to be exhaustive. In addition to entries on political parties, you will find entries on key historical events, individual political biographies, and descriptions of political institutions.

This is a work in progress and updates are regularly being made. The immediate goal is for the site to be well under way by early 2008. For an earlier version of this project, see my Bolivia TiddlyWiki.
