%X Bolivia es el ¨²nico pa¨ªs de Am¨¦rica del Sur que ha vivido una revoluci¨®n popular de dimensiones pol¨ªticas y sociales importantes. Tuvo una de las dictaduras m¨¢s severas y represivas de la regi¨®n andina y, en la actualidad, ha encontrado una estabilidad democr¨¢tica.  Qu¨¦ factores nos explican esta trayectoria? Y, m¨¢s espec¨ªficamente,  qu¨¦ factores han contribuido a establecer los per¨ªodos democr¨¢ticos en este pa¨ªs? El presente art¨ªculo pretende comparar dichos procesos democr¨¢ticos a trav¨¦s de puntos de encuentro que permitan responder estas preguntas, adem¨¢s de conocer las condiciones que favorecen las alianzas de gobierno y la estabilidad democr¨¢tica, y no la estabilidad autoritaria. La autora utiliza la aproximaci¨®n metodol¨®gica de Yashar, que propone analizar las coaliciones favorables al establecimiento de la democracia en un pa¨ªs determinado. Bolivia is the only country of South America which has gone through a popular revolution of important political and social dimensions. It had to support one of the most severe and repressive dictatorships of the Andean region and at present has encountered democratic stability. Which factors help to explain this trajectory? And, furthermore, what factors have contributed to establish the democratic periods in this country? This article attempts to compare such democratic processes through points of encounter which permit to respond these questions, besides knowing the conditions which favor the government alliances and democratic stability and not authoritarian stability. The authoress uses Yashar¡¯s methodological approximation which proposes to analyze coalitions in favor of the establishment of democracy in a determined country.
