Bolivia (06/05)
Bolivia's nine departments received greater autonomy under the Administrative Decentralization law of 1995, although principal departmental officials are still appointed by the central government. Bolivian cities and towns are governed by directly elected mayors and councils. Municipal elections were held in December 2004, with councils elected to 5-year terms. The Popular Participation Law of April 1994, which distributes a significant portion of national revenues to municipalities for discretionary use, has enabled previously neglected communities to make striking improvements in their facilities and services. Lowland departments--especially Santa Cruz and Tarjia--are calling for even increased autonomy and self-determination in coming years. ... [Read More]

US Department Of State Post Report
Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz was developed from a colony established in 1522 by the Spanish, which prospered throughout the Bolivian Oriente and consisted mostly of exploratory expeditions at first. In 1557, Nuflo de Chavez established a settlement between Asuncion and the supposed “El Dorado.” This settlement eventually became Santa Cruz. It was not until 1953 that the isolation of the region began to break down. Communication improved, and gradually Santa Cruz became the large and thriving community that it is today. Santa Cruz is the second largest city in Bolivia. Its economy is based on exports of oil and agricultural products. Santa Cruz is also the name of one of the nine Departments (states) in Bolivia, which was founded on January 23, 1826. The land stretches to the west into the mountains; to the south, to within a few hours’ drive of Argentina; and to the northern part, extending from the swampy plains of the Beni to the mountains and along the Itenes River.
