State-sponsored science and technology projects are increasingly prominent in Bolivia. Evo Morales has implemented a series of new legal and infrastructure programs to foster the growth of these fields because of the promise they hold for fostering Bolivian development using local materials and methods. The content of and justification for these projects differ from those of earlier positivist or desarrollista models. Morales's emphasis on scientific research is congruent with the preexisting ideological and practical commitments of the Bolivian bioscientific and biomedical community. Because of the localism integral to scientific practice in Bolivia, these research projects are "Bolivian science," not "science in Bolivia." Bolivian science challenges common assumptions in the science-studies and philosophy-of-science literature regarding who does science, what the appropriate venues for it are, and how its practice is justified
