Abstract

This research aims to identify the most important milestones about the design and implementation of Development Plans for the 1928 – 2015 period, considering theories and models used for defining and planning Bolivia’s social development. Methodology used for this end bases on review and analysis of literature, historical reports, development models and public policies. There are contradictions between strategies and mid/long term plans, noting that social development was not considered a priority by many governments, although used as a platform in search of power spaces. This assertion is grounded by the fact that throughout the period of analysis, Bolivia implemented a set of plans and strategies; however, most strategic documents failed to territorialize designed policies, not incorporating social development explicitly.
