This book is a study of politics and the changing configuration of power in a developing country in which political domination during the past 155 years has almost without exception coincided with economic hegemony.

Dictaduras del siglo XXI
Estudio del auge y caída del socialismo del siglo XXI, que descubre el fenómeno de los nuevos autoritarismos. Desde su irrupción en la vida política suramericana, el socialismo del siglo XXI fue inseparable de la figura de Hugo Chávez. Carisma, autenticidad, independencia, la promesa de derrotar la desigualdad, fueron algunos de sus rasgos iniciales y en poco tiempo ganó la simpatía de una región que, con la entrada al nuevo milenio, preparaba su vuelta a la izquierda. Varios partidos adhirieron al modelo y caudillos elegidos por mayorías populares llegaron al poder en países como Ecuador, Bolivia y Nicaragua. Los hechos, sin embargo, se han encargado de descubrir la otra cara de e...
Dictatorships in Twenty-First-Century Latin America
Written by former President of Ecuador Osvaldo Hurtado, Dictatorships in Twenty-First-Century Latin America explores the most important Latin American political phenomenon to emerge in the first two decades of the twenty-first century: democratic governments elected by citizens have become autocratic governments through the manipulation of the constitutional order and the legislative and judicial functions. Unlike traditional Latin American dictatorships, those of the twenty-first century have not been established by the military but by civilian politicians who were voted into power by the people to govern their countries subject to the provisions of the constitution and the law.

21st-Century Dictatorships
Latin America has been perceived as a region prone to dictatorships. Arguably, though, this is a rather dated perception, as the vast majority of Latin American countries nowadays enjoy political systems that embrace democratic institutions. There is, however, a small group of countries, the so-called "21st-century socialist" countries, where democratic institutions continue to have nominal existence while the rights and freedoms of their citizens are restricted. In his new book, Osvaldo Hurtado shines a bright light on the differences between 21st-century dictatorships and the familiar military despotisms of the past. Hurtado correctly points out that under these new dictatorships attacks a...
Portrait of a Nation
A case study of why Third World countries are still poor, the premise of this book is that while some progress has been made in transforming the political economy of Ecuador, certain behaviors, beliefs and attitudes have kept the country from developing in ways that otherwise would have been possible. As the author asserts, for almost five centuries the cultural habits of Ecuadorian citizens have constituted a stumbling block for individual economic success. Still, he concludes, people's cultural values are not immutable: inconvenient customs can be changed or influenced by the economic success of immigrants. This is the challenge that Ecuador faces in the twenty-first century.
Unsettling Statecraft
Latin America in the 1980s was marked by the transition to democracy and a turn toward economic orthodoxy. Unsettling Statecraft analyzes this transition in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru, focusing on the political dynamics underlying change and the many disturbing tendencies at work as these countries shed military authoritarianism for civilian rule.Conaghan and Malloy draw on insights from the political economy literature, viewing policy making as a "historically conditioned" process, and they conclude that the disturbing tendencies their research reveals are not due to regional pathology but are part of the more general experience of postmodern democracy.
