This article examines the reorientation of the autonomic model since the 2009 Constitution. This “recentralisation” is explained by: (a) the political hegemony achieved by the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) and its consequences for local politics; (b) regulatory centralism, especially in the Ley Marco de Autonomías y Descentralización (Autonomy and Decentralisation Law); (c) fscal inequality in the fnancing of the diferent Autonomous Territorial Entities; and (d) the malfunctioning of the model of intergovernmental relationsengAtribución 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1007/s11115-022-00653-6open accessDecentralisationBoliviaNationalisation of local PoliticsNormative centralismFiscal decentralisationIntergovernmental relationsPolíticaAdministración públicaRelaciones internacionales59 Ciencia Política5909 Administración Publica5901 Relaciones Internacionales
