Since the earliest days of independence, Bolivia's foreign policy
has been largely determined by geographical circumstances. This
study examines the related aspects of location, accessibility,
exploitation, attempted colonisation and boundary changes in
Bolivia since 1825 and reviews the political and economic geography
of the western, northern and southern sectors today. Dr Fifer
examines Bolivia's role as a buffer state and the progressive
reduction of its territory to about half of what was originally
claimed in exchange, effectively, for railways and transit
agreements. The consequences of the country's position in the South
American interior have been no less evident in the wider context of
international relations and this study also traces the influence of
location in the political and commercial attitudes displayed
towards Bolivia by Britain and the USA during the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. Finally the long-term effects of a landlocked
position on the country's national growth and development are
reviewed.
