Over the last decade, political scientists have identifiedEcuador as one ofLatinAmerica's hybrid regimes. This article examines howPresidentRafaelCorrea combined legal reforms, bureaucratic controls and other policies in a contra-associational strategy aimed at extending executive control over civil society. While the strategy significantly altered the operational environment for civil society groups, it did not completely strip them of their capacity to oppose the regime. Ecuador's experience underscores the ambiguity at play in hybrids; in pursuit of regime legitimation, regimes must cede some space to opponents while simultaneously sabotaging civil liberties
