Shrnutí:Bolivia and Ecuador are undergoing important changes as their social and political forces shift. In the face of a new scenario, organizations, social movements, and collectives in both countries have reinvented strategies and relationships with their current governments. The political opportunities structure that arose when Movimiento al Socialismo and Alianza País came into power brought certain networks and activists into administration, and drove others into protest. Consequently, there has been a decrease in the movements’ capacity for mobilization over the last few years, but also an increase in the number of protests. This article interprets the above phenomenon.
