Moving into danger? Embedding hazard modelling in a participatory workshop to support risk-sensitive urban development in Quito, Ecuador
Urban development increasingly takes the form of expansion at the edge of cities, often resulting in development of locations with greater exposure to natural hazards, as exemplified in Quito, which has experienced one hazard event per 0.8 km 2 of recent expansion. Predictive models of hazard impacts are thus important tools in planning, but their use can be limited by institutional technical capacity and data needs. In this paper, we present a t…
Normative future visioning for city resilience and development
This paper argues for normative visioning as an underdeveloped component of adaptation planning. Multi-stakeholder and normative approaches to future visioning offer generative moments when creativity can meet the power to act required for critical, including transformative, adaptation. Including normative methods with community and city actors in adaptation planning allows for alternative narratives of development to arise as a basis for deeper …
Reflexivity and interdisciplinarity
Purpose Reflexivity supports research teams in developing and implementing interdisciplinarity perspectives, but there is still limited literature on this topic. To fill this gap, we explore how reflexivity can support a research team in its interdisciplinary efforts to create new knowledge for disaster risk reduction. Design/methodology/approach We present the reflexive journey of our interdisciplinary research team consisting of Ecuador- and UK…
The right to the city and contemporary housing policy in Ecuador
This article analyzes how the right to the city has been implemented in Ecuadorian housing policy after it was recognized in the 2008 Constitution, focusing on the link between this right and the right to housing. Based on the policy design framework, the study seeks to explore to what extent the set of policy instruments developed in the period 2009–2020 have been consistent with the right principles proposed in Constitution. Some limitations ar…
Asentamientos informales, regularización y riesgo de desastres en el periurbano del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito - Colinas del Norte
Los asentamientos informales en América Latina generalmente presentan altos niveles de vulnerabilidad en la medida en que se encuentran ubicados en zonas de multiamenaza. Frente a esta problemática, se plantea analizar de qué manera se ha construido el riesgo de desastres en el periurbano de la ciudad de Quito. Mediante un diseño metodológico de carácter mixto, se analiza el caso de la parroquia el Condado y el barrio Colinas del Norte. La inform…
Centralidades periféricas y periferias centrales en la localización residencial inmigrante en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, Ecuador
El artículo reflexiona sobre la problemática de la inserción residencial inmigrante en el mercado de alquiler del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, Ecuador, mediante el análisis de las condiciones de habitabilidad y localización geográfica de 1 797 personas. Se busca comprender los patrones determinantes de su localización residencial en espacios de la centralidad periférica y la periferia central urbana, y se propone que sus elecciones residencia…
Governance and the design of post-disaster policies
Latin America and the Caribbean is one of the regions threatened most by natural events owing to the highly vulnerable circumstances of its urban centres. Consequently, its cities are occasionally affected by one or more disaster types, exposing problems of governance and public policy in relation to risk management. The aim of this research is to investigate the factors that influence the design of post-disaster policies. It hypothesises that in…
Políticas públicas para ciudades sostenibles. El caso Puertas del Sol en la ciudad de Quito‐Ecuador
Los desafíos para generar políticas públicas enfocadas a transformar las ciudades latinoamericanas en sostenibles, son cada vez mayores. La problemática se complejiza en un contexto global de desigualdad y pobreza, donde los impactos de la expansión urbana informal, se tornan en una de las problemáticas centrales a resolver por parte de los gobiernos locales. Por ello, en varias ciudades, se han realizado esfuerzos y planes piloto para revertir s…

Neoinstitucionalismo como paradigma científico
La emergencia del neoinstitucionalismo a inicios de la década del ochenta representa la innovación teórico-metodológica del viejo pensamiento institucionalista, pero sobre todo marca una ruptura respecto a los presupuestos de la revolución conductista que habían dominado la ciencia política en el período de posguerra. En ese sentido, la presente investigación se pregunta ¿De qué manera se configura el paradigma neoinstitucionalista? Para este pro…
The Politics of Accountability
Current literature on social and political accountability hardly explains why governments are (or are not) interested in including non-state actors in decision-making and policy implementation. This paper argues that accountability is the product of the interplay of ideas and institutions to mediate contradictory interests in the definition of normative, strategic and operational policy aims and means. Process-tracing is utilized to identify the …

Ecuador
Con el triunfo del socialdemocrata Rodrigo Borja sobre el populista Abdala Bucram, el 3 de mayo de 1988 termino en Ecuador una de las elecciones presidenciales mas controvertidas de su historia. Este articulo busca explicar por que el proceso politico del pais llego en estas elecciones al dilema entre dos posiciones: la primera representada por un partido moderno, constituido sobre bases ideologicas y una estructura nacional, y la segunda, por un…
