ABSTRACT
The top right stakeholder granted a low acceptance social licence and was well connected among second- and third-ring stakeholders. This was a transportation contractor of Minera San Cristobal (MSC) who had strong ties with other transportation contractors. Most of them were cooperatives, at least in name, although the difference between a cooperative and a private enterprise can be blurry in Bolivia. So many stakeholders had joined the dialogue on regional economic development that it was the most mentioned theme. In addition to addressing these concerns, MSC continued with the regional economic development focus and assisted local communities with a petition to obtain a hospital for the town of San Cristobal. The loose cluster at the bottom right with the stakeholder labelled 'r3gvsnr65' at the centre was composed of government representatives in both Potosi and La Paz. They were mostly political supporters of the nationalisation of resource industries.
