Founded in 1990, the Bolivian Studies Journal was published by the University of Akron until 2000 and by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign until 2008. Beginning in 2009, the University Library System, University of Pittsburgh, assumed the publication of this important annual journal. Under the University of Pittsburgh's editorship, and with the support of the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures, and the University of Pittsburgh Press, the journal was physically re-designed and intellectually re-conceptualized to meet the challenges that Bolivia is facing in the new millennium.
