| The aim of this thesis is to investigate, analyze and discuss the political, economic and social development in Ecuador for the last 33 years since the return to democracy and the facts/factors that led to the presidential election of Rafael Correa, including the policies adopted during his term.
Correa's election at the time coincided with other notable leftist/populist ruling leaders in Latin America, such as Hugo Chavez (Venezuela), Evo Morales (Bolivia) , Michele Bachelet ( Chile), Lula da Silva ( Brazil) and Nestor Kichner ( Argentina). Among Correa's proposals are the end of injustice, poverty and ''partidocracia''. Ecuador's recent history has been marked by ideological, regional and ethnic conflicts within an unstable political scenario where the lack of integrity of many of their politicians combined with the poor performance of the Democratic Institutions led the people to distrust the State. After the end of the dictatorial regime in the late 70s, mostly neoliberal and conservative governments ruled Ecuador. In the 90s, the economy suffered a series of events that affected its stability. In 1998 the El Niño destroyed most of the agricultural production. Between 1998 and 1999, oil prices fell, leading to an international financial crisis. In 1999 and 2000, the national financial system was affected by the bankrupt or transfer to the State of more than half of the major banks. As a result of this crisis, dollarization was adopted to replace the old currency (Sucre). The crisis led to a massive international migration. It is estimated that at least 700.000 Ecuadorians left the country since 1998. Correa promotes the so called " 21st century socialism" where the model of economic development is based on the extraction of natural resources and the State participation/control of the economy. Public enterprises are characterized as extremely corrupt and costly to taxpayers. Ecuador has draft and institute 3 different Constitutions since 1979. From 1996 to 2005, no president was able to complete the constitutional term. The presidential crisis was mainly characterized by struggles between the executive and legislative power. Moreover, there has been great polarization and fragmentation within the political party system. In this thesis, focus is given to a particular phase of protest and expansion of social movements which led to the creation of new political parties ( e.g Pachakuti) or movements (e.g Alianza Pais). Finally, it is shown that the project entitled “Revolucion Ciudadana”, which is currently being undertaken in that country, has often involved a confronting approach. Correa has gained the title of "Caudillista" according to the political opponents of his "revolutionary project", arguing that the president has succeeded on his main objective to control all the powers of the State. Working hypotheses: 1. The popularity enjoyed by Rafel Correa is linked to the frustration-filled chasm between the promises made by previous leaders and their failure to deliver. 2. The political instability and comparatively poor development experienced in Ecuador over the past 35 years can be attributed to the lack of integrity of many of the former leaders, who have sought to serve not the legitimate interests of the state, but their own. 3. The project ‘’Revolucao Cidadania’’ will ultimately mark a decisive moment in the quest to pave the path for a viable democracy that will affect the quality of life of all of the citizens of Ecuador --- or favour solely the government’s political circle otherwise. 4. It is possible to to adopt undemocratic measures to strenghten and reestablish the constitutionality of the state. 5. The state of Ecuador can be thought of being as being merely a Republic under the guise of a true democracy. 6. 21st Century Socialism is a mixed-blessing with grave implications in the long-run. Methodology: Empirical Research: Travelling to the Republic of Ecuador to collect data available only from local resources and to consult and interview selected individuals and entities that have an active role in society and the use and review of relevant Ecuadorian literature and international journals/articles. |
