El mecenazgo estructural y la movilización social en Ecuador
El objetivo de esta investigación es profundizar el tratamiento teórico que se da entre Estado y demandas sociales.

Government through Inaction
This article analyses strategies for channelling a migrant population out of a country by indirect means. Specifically, we examine the response of the Ecuadorean state to the influx of Venezuelan newcomers since 2015. We argue that this response has been characterised by inaction, rooted not in policy failures or bad governance, but rather in a strategic governmental rationality. We show how migrants are 'herded' out of the country as a result of…

However, unlike simil…

Specifically, we argue that strengthening state authority in Ecuador has come at the expense of state capacities: by positioning the state in a place of ‘exceptional authority’,…
