The article looks at the challenges that will face Bolivia's president-elect, Evo Morales. Morales is the first indigenous president in Bolivia's history. He has suggested that Bolivia should manage its natural resources for the benefit of its citizens. Morales is the former leader of the coca growers' union. It is suggested that the pressure on developing countries to satisfy the interests of foreign investors could undermine Morales's proposed reforms. Morales has pledged the nationalization of oil and natural gas reserves in Bolivia.
