                  Background:
                  Bolivia, named after independence fighter Simon BOLIVAR, broke
                  away from Spanish rule in 1825; much of its subsequent history
                  has consisted of a series of nearly 200 coups and
                  counter-coups. Comparatively democratic civilian rule was
                  established in the 1980s, but leaders have faced difficult
                  problems of deep-seated poverty, social unrest, and drug
                  production. Current goals include attracting foreign
                  investment, strengthening the educational system, continuing
                  the privatization program, and waging an anti-corruption
                  campaign. |
