In 2018，the overall situation in Bolivia is relatively stable，but there are still variables. Nearly all political forces are preparing for the presidential and parliamentary elections in October 2019. The government has passed a new law that requires the registration of presidential candidates in party primaries and party alliances before the election. The Constitutional Court and the Supreme Electoral Court have issued rulings allowing President Morales，who has been in power for 13 years，to stand for a fourth term. The main Bolivian economic indicators have stabilized and GDP has maintained positive growth. However，because Morales’s re-election is strongly opposed by the opposition and some people，social unrest and political violence has been increasing. The Morales government has continued to implement social welfare measures and has promised to release a double workers’ bonus by the end of 2018. Morales still focuses on diversified and non-traditional pragmatic diplomacy policies. The International Court of Justice has ruled that Chile has no obligation to negotiate with Bolivia on sovereign access to the sea.
