	Ecuador - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Republic of Ecuador is a country in northwestern South America, bounded by Colombia on the north, by Peru on the east and south, and by the Pacific Ocean on the west.
		Ecuador's mainstream culture is defined by Ecuador's mestizo majority and, like their ancestry, is a mixture of European and Amerindian influences infused with African elements inherited from slave ancestors.
		Ecuador's indigenous communities are largely integrated into that mainstream culture to varying degrees, but some may also practise their own autochthonous cultures, particularly the more remote indigenous communities of the Amazon basin.

		Ecuador had four successive democratic elections from 1948 to 1960, but the country did not experience relative political stability under democratic rule again until the 1980s.
		According to political scientist and former president Hurtado, rivalry among provinces and regions for central government attention in the form of development projects, principally road construction, also was a major source of political conflict.
		Although Ecuador's political parties and its free and partisan press participated in a lively and contentious democratic political process, parties suffered from factionalism, weak organization, lack of mass participation, and blurred ideologies, as well as from the competing influences of populism and militarism.

	Government and Politics
		In the case of Colombia, political scientists were often compelled to explain why certain events, such as military intervention and regime breakdown, did not occur, or why more traditional political patterns, such as entrenched elite-dominated multi-class parties, have endured.
		Further, many aspects of political life in Colombia and Ecuador in the 1990s are proving to be in the forefront of contemporary research in the region.
		In Ecuador, although there is still a lag between politics and published scholarship, one of the key themes that is stimulating much scholarly interest and research is the rise of the indigenous movement as a major actor in national politics.

	Politics of Ecuador - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The constitution of Ecuador provides for concurrent four-year terms of office for the president, vice president, and members of Congress.
		Ecuador's political parties have historically been small, loose organizations that depended more on populist, often charismatic, leaders to retain support than on programs or ideology.
		Although Ecuador's political elite is highly factionalized along regional, ideological, and personal lines, a strong desire for consensus on major issues often leads to compromise.

	Party Politics in Ecuador, 1963 to 2000
		Economic troubles are a final element of the bleak current situation in Ecuador and of its lack of potential for growth and stabilization in the near future.
		The electoral system in Ecuador is based on a unicameral Chamber of National Representatives, which consists of twelve national deputies elected on a proportional representation list system and up to 113 provincial deputies, who are elected in multi-member constituencies and whose number is dependent on population.
		Citizens in Ecuador seem to have given up their hope for change, and are disappointed with the performance of democracy in their nation.

	GN Online: Ecuador needs $3b to develop new fields
		Ecuador needs $3 billion in investment in the next three years to explore and develop new crude oil fields as it bids to energize its energy sector, its energy minister said yesterday.
		Currently Ecuador produces about 385,000 barrels per day of oil, a number it hopes to almost double after completing the two year construction of the $1.1 billion OCP line by a consortium of six international companies.
		Ecuador, plagued by an economic crisis with 91 per cent inflation last year and a government foreign debt burden that's more than 80 per cent of GDP, is counting on its oil drive to jump-start the sluggish economy.

		Several studies devoted to the politics of counter-terrorism conclude that the Colombian government's only solution is to aim for some kind of compromise between the drug traffickers and insurgents in order to end the violence (items bi 92000654 and bi 91020887).
		The political science research on Ecuador continues to improve over what was produced in the previous decade due in large part to the collaborative work being done in research centers and institutes in the capital.
		Studies of national political institutions still receive considerable attention in the political science literature due to the importance of the presidency and, to a lesser extent, congress (e.g., items bi 91010069, bi 92010409, bi 91010083, and bi 91010089).

		The distinction between civilian and military spheres of action was blurred, and the institutional identity of the military had not become wholly established.
		In 1963 the army high command deposed President Carlos Julio Arosemena Monroy, perceiving him to be overly tolerant of the communist threat against Latin America and a national embarrassment because of his reported public drunkenness (see Instability and Military Dominance, 1960-72, ch.

	Citizens, Indians and Women: The Politics of Exclusion in Ecuador
		Ecuador was the first country in Latin America to extend the franchise to women, but the elites intended it as a move to retain control over the political process.
		From the founding of the country of Ecuador in 1830 to the reforms which reimplemented civilian rule in 1979, every constitution recognized a fundamental distinction between Ecuadorian "nationals" and "citizens." The constitution bestowed Ecuadorian nationality primarily upon those who were either born in Ecuador or gained the status through a process of naturalization.
		A central political demand for which Indigenous organizations pressed in the 1980s and 1990s was to reform this article to officially acknowledge the pluri-national character of the "state" called Ecuador.

	The Politics of Exclusion: Ecuador's Glorious May Revolution of 1944
		Although it emerged out of leftist political party and labor union organizing efforts, the FEI was the first successful attempt in Ecuador to establish a national organization for and by Indigenous peoples.
		Although Indians had their own organizations, understood, and were able to articulate their own demands, until they gained full citizenship rights they could not use formal political channels to press for the legal and structural changes such as raising the level of minimum salaries and enacting a program of agrarian reform.
		This political context led to a situation of partial democracy which continued to exclude the rural majority from the full exercise of their citizenship rights.

	Bibliography on Party Politics in Ecuador, 1950-1962
		This fact is symptomatic of the seeming lack of concern for Ecuadorian politics outside of Ecuador itself and the apparent belief by those who have studies Ecuadorian politics that the party system is not a variable of great importance.
		Even so, a great deal of the information in English about Ecuadorian political parties had to be gleaned from news sources, area bulletins, and more or less popular periodicals (as opposed to academic journals) rather than from scholarly analyses.
		In summarizing the state of the literature on Ecuadorian political parties, we find from the table of indexing codes that little attention is devoted to the "study of parties" (0-- codes), "party origin" (1-- codes), and "party organization" (4-- codes).

	The Politics of Exclusion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		After a brief period of euphoria which seemed to usher in a new period of social relations and optimistic expectations of increased Indigenous and popular participation in political power, the country's elite reestablished their control and the lower classes were once again marginalized and excluded from political processes.
		Elites who benefitted from this status quo held political power, and there were very few sympathetic voices who had access to the halls of power who could argue for legislative changes.
		Ecuador has also been known as a country with highly unstable governments and frequent changes in chief executives and ministerial posts.

	Ecuador - Party Politics in the 1980s
		Ecuadorian politics in the 1980s constituted an increasingly bitter struggle among conservative, center-left, and far-left parties and their leaders.
		Political scientist Catherine M. Conaghan, commenting on the declining standards of Ecuadorian political discourse in the late 1980s, noted that "in the absence of strong institutions and new ideas, Ecuadorian politics has devolved into a highly personalized and often trivialized arena of intra-elite struggle."
		Despite their lack of substantive policy differences--both favored economic nationalism and import substitution--their campaigns were characterized by hard-hitting personal attacks that, Conaghan notes, "brought the level of political discourse to a new low." Borja won, as expected, with 1.7 million ballots, or 47.4 percent of the vote.

	The NarcoSphere \|\| Ecuador and Politics, Outsider Looking In
		I've found the general view towards politicians to be a very negative one; basically anyone involved in politics has automatically, yet honestly revealed them self as a corrupt liar and thief by entering the political arena.
		Yet, there are still many people who see the political mess and don't wish to be involved, but rather prefer to get on with their lives.
		They use a common term "Turno", meaning no matter who they elect it's just another clown from the political class who will be the same as the last clown they just threw out; it's this very thing they wish to purge from their political system.

		Ethnopolitics in Ecuador explores the rise of a vigorous contemporary indigenous movement in Ecuador, tracking the political and social transformations it has generated.
		Funding for bilingual literacy programs, participation in local and national politics after centuries of exclusion, and expanded protection for the rights of a growing number of self-identified members are among the movement's most important successes.
		Based on in-depth case studies and field observations, as well as literature in political science, history, and sociology, her work presents Ecuador's positive experience with ethnopolitics as a possible model for other multiethnic political systems.

	International Social Science Review: Gerlach, Allen. Indians, Oil, and Politics: a Recent History of Ecuador
		Thus, after surveying Ecuador's geography, demography, and history (especially economic history), Gerlach turns his pen to the creation of the politically active Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) and to the role it played in bringing down the Abdala Bucaram/Rosalia Arteaga regime in 1997 and the Jamil Mahuad presidency in early 2000.
		As the book's title makes clear, Gerlach believes that Ecuador's recent history has been most marked by two factors: (1) the rise of an indigenous nationalism with the incorporation of once-voiceless Indians into the political arena; and, (2) a failed economic policy that depends too much on oil exports as a source of government revenues.
		In sum, Indians, Oil, and Politics is valuable especially for those interested in recent Ecuadorian politics, the genesis of South American indigenous-rights organizations, and the marriage between oil economics and government in today's Ecuador.

	ZNet \|Ecuador \| Ecuador: Gutierrez Under Threat
		With no real political support, and rising discontent, Gutierrez has begun to rely heavily upon his strong base in the military, sparking fears that, as a graduate of Washingtonâs notorious terrorist-training-camp School of the Americas, he might launch a military coup in order to maintain his grip on power.
		By contrast, the MPD, arguably Ecuadorâs largest far-left party with around 5% of the vote at the last election, has re-entered the alliance with Gutierrezâs government, and was responsible for introducing the bill to dismiss the Supreme Court into Congress.
		It is a symptom of how weak traditional politics are in Ecuador that at the last election, both leading candidates, including the wealthy businessman Noboa, campaigned on anti-neoliberal platforms, tapping into the disillusionment of the Ecuadorian people.
