The Gonzalo Sanchez Government (1993-1993) led a bold decentralization process in Bolivia in alliance with the first aymara vice president, Victor Hugo Cárdenas. The prosperous mining entrepreneur and political leader of structural adjustment of 1986 offered overcome the suffering time by means of the creation of hundreds of municipalities equipped with resources to which could access indigenous representatives and peasants up to now lacking of civic and political rights. At the same time, "The Gony and the indigenous government" performed a huge privatization of five of the six biggest state monopolies under the name capitalizations. The hypothesis defended here is that decentralization and indigenous recognition were not simple bargaining chip for legitimize the second phase of neoliberal macroeconomic adjustment. On the contrary, the decentralized architecture of the State was also part of the institutional programmatic ideology of neoliberalism while it was demand of the prosperous eastern entrepreneurs, who needed it to exert strategic control over their territories.

Keywords : decentralization; neoliberalism; entrepreneur; indigenous; Bolivia.
