Los misiles chinos: Crónica de un desarme

This paper describes in chronicle format the main events around the so-called case of the "Chinese missiles": the surrender to Unite States military personnel of the only missiles that Bolivia has had for its anti-aircraft defense. The event happened months before the December 2005  general election in which Evo Morales won the presidency and after prolonged crisis and political instability (2003-2005). The paper identifies the main evidence and the political and institutional consequences of military subordination to a foreign power, all permeated by aspects such as interference, loss of sovereignty and impunity.
