Description
In the Andean countries of South America, the current political situation is determined by the need to find a new model of development, different and alternative to that imposed by neoliberal policies. This new situation includes the recognition by States of the cultural and ethnic diversity of population and, as an element of that, the need to guarantee specific rights to indigenous peoples effectively, with new public institutions and adequate resources, among the proposals that some authors call the new "multicultural constitutionalism".
This official recognition is a result of the struggles and demands of the indigenous movement, in their process of strengthening of the identity to achieve an ethnic citizenship, as social, political and cultural actors while questioning the existing of oppressive and obsolete models of citizenship, democracy, state and nation.
