GENERAL INFORMATION On August 6, 1825 the Republic of Bolivia was established as free, united, sovereign and independent. In the frame of the New Political Constitution of the State approved on January 25, 2009, Bolivias offcial name was changed to Plurinational State of Bolivia (Presidential Decree 0048 18.03.09). The structure of the territory which today constitutes the Plurinational State of Bolivia dates back to the history of the cultures which developed in the plateau region, such as the Viscachanense, the Ayampitinense, the Chiripa, the Wancarani, the Urus and particularly the Tiwanacota; characterized as the frst Andean Empire in whose domains the frst planed city in the region was built: Tiwanacu. During the development of the Inca Empire, the region corresponding to Bolivia became known as Collasuyo which was predominately occupied by Aymara settlers. The ethnic groups in Bolivia are divided in: Andean settled in the larger parts of the plateau regions and valleys and the low lands. The arrival of the Spaniards disassembled the organization which operated for centuries in the region implanting a new political institutional structure; supported by the exploitation of the none- renewable natural resources. In order to achieve their outlined objectives, the conquistadores organized the territory and founded cities with specifc functions in strategic regions for their own beneft. Bolivia has been scenario of historical events of great transcendence, both local and continental. One of the main events was the foundation of the Greater University and Pontifcal of Saint Francisco Xavier in Chuquisaca; in whose cloisters the revolutionary ideals ripened in the last quarter of the XVIII Century creating an atmosphere where the frst cry of freedom was unleashed in our America, on May 25, 1809. On July 16 of that same year, La Paz joined the libertarian movement, initiating a process which later transcended throughout the South American Continent and culminated with the recognition of the countries of the region as free, sovereign and independent countries. The Plurinational State of Bolivia adopted for its government the democratic, participative, representative and communitarian way, with equal opportunities for men and women. ORGANIZATION OF THE PLURINATIONAL STATE The Plurinational State of Bolivia organizes and structures its public power by way of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly; Executive, Judicial and Electoral Branches. The organization of the State is founded in the independence, separation, coordination and cooperation of these branches. Executive Branch: Formed by a President and a Vice-President, both elected by means of universal, mandatory, direct, free and secret vote for a period of 5 years. Legislative Branch: Formed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Senate is made up of 36 members; four Senators are elected in each State in the districts and the House of Representatives made up of 130 members. The House and the Senate are each elected for a period of 5 years. Judicial Branch: Formed by the Supreme Court of Justice as the main court of non-military jurisdiction; the Agro-Environmental Court as the main court specialized in the agro-environmental jurisdiction, Natives of Indigenous Origins Jurisdiction, Council of Magistracy (Branch which elects the Judges of the Supreme Court), and the Plurinational Constitutional Court. Electoral Branch: Formed of the Supreme Electoral Court, the District Electoral Courts, the Electoral Courts, the Juries at the Polling Stations and the Electoral Notaries. GEOGRAPHICAL DIVISION The territory of Bolivia is divided in departments, proviices, municipalities and territories of natives and indigenous origins. The 9 Departments are: Beni, Cochabamba, Chuquisaca, La Paz, Oruro, Pando, Potos, Santa Cruz and Tarija. 2. PRESENTING THE PLURINATIONAL STATE OF BOLIVIA 6 3. PRESENTING THE DEPARTMENT OF SANTA CRUZ
Santa Cruz is the tropical paradise of Bolivia; a department with exuberant vegetation with massive extensions of jungle and prairie, located in the eastern part of the Bolivian territory; it was created on January 23, 1826 during the Presidency of Mariscal (General) Antonio Jos de Sucre. With an area of 370,621 sq km of which only a third is comprised of mountainous regions and the rest is spread over the Amazian planes. Located in eastern Bolivia, it borders the Department of Beni and the Federative Republic of Brazil to the north; the Department of Chuquisaca and the Republic of Paraguay to the south, the Federal Republic of Brazil to the east and west by the departments of Beni, Cochabamba and Chuquisaca. It has a population of 2,655,084 inhabitants (2012 census). The Capital of the Department is the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra (437 m) located between 17 47 20 South latitude and 63 10 30 west longitude from the prime meridian. This Department produces: cotton, sugar cane, tobacco, soy, rice, vanilla, coffee, sunfowers, cacao, achiote (uruc), and a variety of vegetables, citric and tropical fruits.
ECONOMY This Department is mainly characterized by the processing of agricultural and forestry production, standing soybeans, sugar cane, cotton and wood. The manufacturing sector also has a strong presence although the Department is mainly agricultural. Santa Cruz produces more than 45% of the agricultural production in the country and contributes with over 40 % of the national agricultural production, although in some areas such as fbers, their contribution reaches 97.54 % (oil, and sugarcane). Its main exports are soybean: soy cake (defatted four) , whole soybean four , soybeans , crude soybean oil, refned soybean oil ; not carded or combed cotton, refned white sugar, gold , lumber , frames and doors and wooden windows, tanned cowhides, cake and sunfower oil, palm hearts preserved, among others. The main products now include soy (or soya), wood, cotton, rice, sugarcane, corn, vanilla, coffee , sunfower , cocoa, crude oil , natural gas; fshing is important in large rivers - fsh farming is also practiced, specially tilapia . To the southeast of the Department lays the Mutn region, that exports 100 thousand tons of iron per year to Paraguay about, and gemstones such as amethyst, citrine and a fusion of these call bolivianita are also exported , while the crystal melting rock and amethyst is known as the Ayoreita . Moreover, the Department of Santa Cruz, is one of the largest contributors to the GDP of the country, more than 7.855 billion dollars is the regional GDP, the region contributes with 2.479 billion dollars , representing 35% of the total. These results have been due to the strong regional investment from the central government in the 70s and 80s, whose main benefciaries were the production of sugar, oil and cotton and later soybeans and their derivatives and the oil industry; currently agribusiness Santa Cruz is one of the engines of the economy and also in recent years has seen an upturn in the service sector , linked to fnances and technology, especially in communications. The Department has 10% of the natural gas reserves of Bolivia, producing 37.1% of this energy. Similar situation occurs with oil, because although it concentrates 10 % of these reserves, it produces 38.9 % of oil , natural gas and condensate that is processed in refneries. Such fgures refect in the regional production structure , as agriculture, forestry, hunting and fshing make up to 21.9 % of the activity of Santa Cruz , followed closely by manufacturing , which accounts for 20.73% and the fnancial sector , insurance , real estate and business services concentrate 15.22 %. Another factor that attracts investment to the Department is that the region has the countrys best indicators of competitiveness. The Regional Competitiveness Index for the period 2000 - 2001 was 0.82, high above the other departments. This translates into the fact that 29.1 % of foreign direct investment, which reached a total of 566 million USD, goes to the department of Santa Cruz. All indicators identifed above also refect in an undisputed leadership in the region in national exports. Foreign sales in 2003 accounted for more than 1.6 billion dollars, 880 million were exports industries settled in the Department of Santa Cruz , and the average share rose from 35% in 1999 to 53.3 % in 2003. On this issue it is also important to note that the share of exports of non-traditional products is led by Santa Cruz. All the productive power of the region creates signifcant resources for Bolivia. According to the National Tax Service and National Customs, in 2002, from 800 million raised (regardless imports), 37% was the result of the contribution of the region, more specifcally the activity produced by the region. Indeed, all the productive effort of the Department 7 also impacts the domestic banking system.
