metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article carries out an assessment of risks of spatial disintegration using a methodology developed
  by the authors. The methodology makes it possible to quantify the danger of weakening,
  disruption, and destruction of the system-forming links between the administrative-territorial
  units of the country. The authors have identified seven factors of spatial disintegration: historical,
  socio-economic, domestic political, ethno-cultural, military-strategic, transport, and foreign
  policy. As an example of testing this technique, Bolivia was chosen as a state that has patterns
  of economic, political, socio-cultural development characteristic of most Latin American countries.
  But unlike most of them, Bolivia has a multi-core territorial and political structure: in the
  political field, the actual (La Paz) and constitutional (Sucre) capitals compete with an alternative
  pole of growth — the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra in the flat east of the country. The Santa Cruz
  Department initiates and coordinates various innovations and projects aimed at increasing the
  autonomy of the east of the country or federalization of Bolivia. The calculations have shown
  that Bolivia has significantly higher risks of potential disintegration compared to several Latin
  American states (Mexico, Venezuela, Chile). Modern Bolivia is a contradictory system of two
  heterogeneous socio-cultural, economic and political regions — the mountainous West, inhabited
  by Aymara and Quechua, that economic development is based on the mining industry,
  and the plain East, populated by Creoles and Guarani, economically stimulated by natural gas
  production and more intensive agriculture. It is determined that the departments of Santa Cruz
  and Tarija have the greatest risks of spatial disintegration within Bolivia.
