Historically, the relationship between the Ministry of Education and the teachers’ unions has been characterized as a political partnership in the educational sector following the 1952 revolution. Until 1985, the teachers’ unions were legally authorized to intervene in educational policy–making as well as personnel transfers within the Ministry of Education. The neo-liberal economic policy introduced in 1985, however, changed this structure. The government attempted to reform the entire educational system, which was based on a neo-liberal ideology very different from the revolutionary nationalism that had been maintained since the 1952 revolution. In this article, through a description of the legislative process of the Education Reform Law proclaimed in 1994 and the decline of the position of the teachers’ unions in this process, I argue that this change resulted in a political conflict surrounding educational reform in Bolivia.}, pages = {189--201}, title = {ボリビアにおける教育政策形成の政治的構造 - 教育改革法策定過程の歴史的分析から -}, volume = {35}, year = {2007} }
