Language experts are trying to evolve standardized words with specific meanings for e-mail to provide the East and the West with opportunities to interact.

Interminable revolution: Populism and frustration in 20th century Bolivia

Article Abstract:

The rise of Evo Morales is usually viewed in the light of a regional resurgence of populism, but one can gain better insight into the significance and role of Morales by viewing it against a backdrop of Bolivian political and social history. The Bolivian political instability is rooted in popular power, and so it would be appropriate to regard populism itself as a feature of Bolivian political development, rather than as a singular political phenomenon.
