Revisiting Ecuador's Economic and Social Agenda in an Evolving Landscape
Ecuadorian society has overcome adversity with great determination over the past few years. Periodic economic crises, external shocks, and even natural disasters tested the country's ability to cope with difficulties.

Revisiting Ecuador's Economic and Social Agenda in an Evolving Landscape aims to provoke a lively discussion between the World Bank, the new Correa administration, and the entire country, in addressing the unresolved issues that require a thoughtful approach.

Anhand der vergleichenden Fallanalyse zweier Bergbauprojekte wird illustriert, wie politische und sozio-ökologische Rechte der mittelfristigen Aufwärtsmobilität der Gesellschaft zum Opfer fallen.
