Abstract

During 2013 the President Correa strengthened his authoritarian-competitive model initiated at 2007. Regardless of infrastructure and public investment -that any government with economic resources could also have done- the Correa administration was characterized by the persecution of any person with opinions contrary to his performance in office. Given this political scenario, the last obstacle for Correa to consolidate his permanence in office after 2017 was the constitutional reform that permits his reelection without limits -or at least for an additional period. If the political and economic conditions do not vary in the short run, Ecuador will have a government characterized by many public works and few liberties until 2021. Hence, the massive popular acceptance generated by Correa's authoritarian-competitive model should orient future research on Ecuador.
