- Title

- Abstract
Bolivia holds deep conflicts and tensions rooted in the exclusion that has historically affected the poorest. Lately, the vindication of "indio" supports a process of social struggles. Using the document review technique, the authors do a research with a dual purpose, to identify which approaches of social justice are pursued by the cocalero movement and in the so-called water war, and gas war; and determine whether the demands of these conflicts are reflected in the policy guidelines of Evo Morales' first government. A new political elite of indigenous character emerges as a result of the struggles, incorporating social movements and their petitions as part of a government agenda. Vindication becomes the guiding principle to recover what is considered "proper", but it is worth asking what is the scope and reach in light of the empowerment of the indigenous movement.
