CARDENAS GRACIA, Jaime. Report about the Bolivian Referendum of 2016. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2017, vol.50, n.148, pp.81-112. ISSN 2448-4873.

This article explains the referendum of February 21 of 2016. The Bolivians said “Not” to the possibility of Evo Morales’s second reelection. In this essay I expose the pros and cons. I analyze if the reelection of the President without enough democratic controls is against the rule of democracy. Besides, the essay contextualizes the referendum in the framework between Neoliberalism and Populism.
