Intersectionality helps explain why women with multiple marginalized identities face distinct political barriers. This entry examines how intersecting identities shape women’s exposure to demand- and supply-side factors—from public attitudes, electoral rules, and party gatekeeping to unequal access to resources and support—that determine who runs, who wins, and whose voices are heard in politics.

Die Präsidentschaftswahlen in Bolivien sind ein Einschnitt: Nach zwei Jahrzehnten der Dominanz einer Partei stehen sich am 19. Oktober zwei liberale Oppositionskandidaten gegenüber. Der Gewinner muss wirtschaftliche Anpassungen mit sozialer Absicherung in Einklang bringen, um neue Konflikte zu vermeiden.

Democracy is eroding worldwide, exposing growing gaps between elite narratives and citizens’ expectations. Focusing on Bolivia, this study uses World Values Survey data to map competing conceptions of democracy and how they shape institutional trust and regime support amid polarization and crisis.

In 2023, over half of Bolivians saw corruption as widespread—the highest recorded by AmericasBarometer. This chapter unpacks the role of bribery experiences, politics, and media in shaping perceptions and explores how they impact trust, support for democracy, and even justification of coups.
