Opis
Izvleček:A  number  of  regions  in  Bolivia  argued  marginalization  –associated  with  State  centralism–  as part of a demand for more autonomy. ¿But what exactly is the centre, given that the very capital has changed location? By studying the budgets, this article analyses the source of income and its regional distribution, offering methodological and historiographical observations. Through historical analysis, the article observes how, at least until 1952, Bolivia was funded by the  West  axis,  and  that  the  current  regional  inequality  is  a  result  of  policies  that  were  implemented in the XX century. Methodologically speaking, we advocate a social interpretation of the budgets given that this would effectively convey the short-term and long-term relationships between the State and the regions; and between the State and other social actors.
