Abstract [en]

In parallel with the reformulation of constitutions and re-definitions of nationhood, plurinationalism became a dominating theme in early 21st century Latin America. Considering the increasing relevance of this concept in Latin America and beyond, the aim of this study is 1) to explore the origin of the term “plurinationalism” and its forebearers, within and outside Latin America; 2) to identify varieties of plurinationalism in order to point out the Latin American contributions to this field. The starting point of our study is that the concept of plurinationalism is neither an invention of the late 20th century nor a concept originated in Latin America. Our analysis begins with an outline of European precedents of plurinationalism, and then turn to a brief recount of the precedents in the American continent. We then address the emergence of plurinationalism in Latin America in the 1980s, and analyze its evolution through the examples of Bolivia, Ecuador, and Chile.

Abstract [es]

En paralelo con la reformulación de las constituciones y las redefiniciones de la nación, el plurinacionalismo se convirtió en un tema dominante en la América Latina de comienzos del siglo XXI. Considerando la creciente relevancia de este concepto en América Latina y más allá, el objetivo de este estudio es: 1) explorar el origen del término “plurinacionalismo” y sus antecedentes, tanto dentro como fuera de América Latina; 2) identificar las distintas variedades de plurinacionalismo con el fin de resaltar las contribuciones latinoamericanas en este campo. El punto de partida de nuestro estudio es que el concepto de plurinacionalismo no es una invención de finales del siglo XX ni un concepto originado en América Latina. Nuestro análisis comienza con un esbozo de los precedentes europeos del plurinacionalismo y luego pasa a un breve recuento de los antecedentes en el continente americano. A continuación, abordamos la emergencia del plurinacionalismo en América Latina en la década de 1980 y analizamos su evolución a través de los ejemplos de Bolivia, Ecuador y Chile.
