EFE El presidente de Ecuador, Rafael Correa saluda junto a la actriz Mia Farrow el 27 de enero de 2014, en el Palacio de Gobierno en Quito (Ecuador). Farrow acudirá mañana al Pozo Aguarico 4, donde la petrolera Chevron (antes Texaco) operó.

EFE/JOSÉ JÁCOME Uno de los abogados que representan a indígenas y colonos de la Amazonía ecuatoriana en una multimillonaria demanda ambiental contra la petrolera Chevron, el estadounidense Steven Donziger, habló el 21 de septiembre de 2011, durante una rueda de prensa en Quito (Ecuador), en la que presentaron filtraciones de WikiLeaks sobre las supuestas presiones de la compañía para influir en el juicio que afronta en una corte de Ecuador. http://eltiempolatino.com/news/2015/nov/02/emails-revelan-campana-ecuatoriana-de-prop... 11/2/2015 Emails revelan campaña ecuatoriana de propaganda en Estados Unidos | El Tiempo Latino | Noticias ... Emails privados revelan que el presidente ecuatoriano, Rafael Correa, ha gastado millones para contratar a políticos, celebridades, académicos y periodistas estadounidenses para orquestrar una campaña internacional de relaciones publicas contra la petrolera Chevron. Correa designó por lo menos $6.4 millones de una partida presupuestaria a “Publicidad y Propaganda para Medios de Comunicación” por una agencia de Brooklyn operada por alguien a quien describía como su “amiga de la infancia.” La campaña fue cuidadosamente coordinada para apoyar el pleito legal del abogado y activista Steven R. Donziger contra el gigante petrolero. En los emails personales o gubernamentales, Correa y su círculo aportaron ideas estratégicas para atacar a la compañía con sede en California cuando el pleito contra Chevron se desbarataba ante una corte federal estadounidense. En los correos electrónicos Correa atacó al juez que fallaría que Donziger ganó de manera fraudulenta su litigio de varios miles de millones de dólares en una corte ecuatoriana contra la petrolera. Los emails, examinados exclusivamente por American Media Institute, cubren el período entre el verano de 2013 y la primavera de 2014. Y surgieron durante un período crítico en la campaña de 22 años de Donziger para reclamar miles de millones de dólares a Texaco por, en colaboración con la empresa estatal Petroecuador, contaminar un área de la provincia de Sucumbíos desde 1964. El gobierno ecuatoriano no disputa la autenticidad de los email, y reconoce la existencia de la campaña de propaganda. En respuesta a las preguntas dirigidas al Procurador General ecuatoriano Diego García, la asistente Nina Andrea dijo al American Media Institute que "La República ha dedicado solo una pequeña fracción de los recursos que Chevron ha dedicado a las relaciones públicas." LEER AQUI POSTURA DE Ecuador: El gobierno ecuatoriano denuncia en un libro el "uso indebido del arbitraje" por Chevron Chevron adquirió Texaco en 2001 y diez años más tarde Donziger se encontró con un filón cuando un juez ecuatoriano local le otorgó a su equipo $19 mil millones en daños y perjuicios. Pero este fallo, que hubiera sido el segundo pago más grande de la historia en un litigio medioambiental, nunca llegó a concretarse. Pruebas de que el equipo legal de Donziger escribió el fallo en nombre del juez Nicolás Zambrano forzó al sistema judicial ecuatoriano a revisar el caso. Aunque la Corte Nacional de Justicia reafirmó el dictamen, lo cortó por la mitad dejándolo en $9.5 mil millones. Donziger fue objeto de una contrademanda por crimen organizado por parte de Chevron, en la que se reveló que su equipo legal había sobornado a Zambrano y que había organizado un plan para sobornar o neutralizar a otros jueces ecuatorianos. En abril de 2014, el juez Lewis A. Kaplan, de una corte federal, en el caso civil presentado por Chevron, falló que el veredicto millonario se había conseguido mediante fraude. En la decisión de 500 páginas, el juez describió el caso de Donziger como un plan de crimen organizado que incluía extorsion, fraude electrónico, lavado de dinero, y falsificación, manipulación de testigos, y uso de escándalos sexuales como forma de extorsión. http://eltiempolatino.com/news/2015/nov/02/emails-revelan-campana-ecuatoriana-de-prop... 11/2/2015 Emails revelan campaña ecuatoriana de propaganda en Estados Unidos | El Tiempo Latino | Noticias ... Mientras que el caso de Donziger se descomponía, el círculo más cercano a Correa se lanzaba a la carga. En todos los emails, Correa se encarga de crear temas y puntos de discusión. En una discusión por email el 14 de agosto de 2013, el presidente ecuatoriano comparó la contaminación provocada por Chevron en la región Lago Agrio de la provincia de Socumbíos con desastres ecológicos más conocidos. A través de su correo Noticias1, Correa dijo que lo ocurrido en Lago Agrio era 30 veces peor que el derrame del petrolero Exxon Valdez en 1989 frente a la costa de Alaska. “¿Alguien conoce la magnitud del derrame de BP en Mexico?”, preguntó Correa. Y unos minutos después, se corrigió: “Quise decir GOLFO de Mexico (USA)”. A continuación alguien proporcionó información sobre el derrame de la plataforma petrolífera Deep Water Horizon de BP en 2010. Correa, un economista marxista que asumió el poder en 2007, dirigió a un equipo que incluía a la embajadora en Washington de esa época Nathalie Cely, el Secretario de Comunicaciones Fernando Alvarado Espinel, el Ministro de Asuntos Exteriores Ricardo Patiño Aroca y el Secretario Jurídico Alexis Mera. Su campaña de relaciones públicas bajo el eslogan “La Mano Sucia de Chevron” alistó a estrellas como Danny Glover, Mia Farrow y Sharon Stone. Aunque, al final, Stone decidió no participar, expresando por medio de su abogado que nunca apoyó la campaña. La campaña Mano Sucia, según dijo Correa en un email del 14 de octubre de 2013, sería dirigida por “María del Carmen Garay, amiga mía desde la infancia”. Garay operaba la agencia de relaciones públicas MCSquared, ubicada en esa época en Brooklyn. El equipo de Correa también consiguió una historia en la portada de la revista Rolling Stone y cobertura favorable en medios de comunicación académicos, como en un “journal” de Duke University. El propio Correa hizo una gira por Estados Unidos en 2014 calificada de “visita académica” que incluyó reuniones con los presidentes de Yale, Harvard y M.I.T. LEER AQUI EL ARTÍCULO DE ROLLING STONE SOBRE EL CASO CHEVRON Pero el deseo de Correa para tener influencia en Estados Unidos va más allá de Hollywood, los medios de comunicación y las universidades. Los emails mostraron que su equipo condujo negociaciones con dos miembros del partido Demócrata del estado de Massachusetts: el Congresista Jim McGovern y el ex-congresista Bill Delahunt. Delahunt fue contratado para hacer lobby a favor del gobierno ecuatoriano, como parte de la campaña anti-Chevron. Grupos de derechos humanos han acusado a Correa de inclinar las cortes ecuatorianas a su favor. Human Rights Watch dijo que el presidente ha nombrado un consejo judicial “que consiste casi totalmente de ex miembros de su administración” y “cesaron a cientos de jueces por medio de métodos más que cuestionables”. Los emails confidenciales que llenan casi 300 páginas revelan el interés de Correa por impulsar causas anti-estadounidenses y el éxito en atraer a su causa a simpatizantes en Estados Unidos y otros países. Su presupuesto presidencial incluye una partida para relaciones públicas internacionales, por lo que es probable que Correa siga intentando ganar las mentes y los corazones de los estadounidenses. http://eltiempolatino.com/news/2015/nov/02/emails-revelan-campana-ecuatoriana-de-prop... 11/2/2015 E-mails reveal Ecuadorian propaganda campaign in the United States | El Tiempo Latino | News… E-mails reveal Ecuadorian propaganda campaign in the United States President Correa’s e-mails about the Chevron case J.

  • The Disease Burden of Suicide in Ecuador, a 15
    Ortiz-Prado et al. BMC Psychiatry (2017) 17:342 DOI 10.1186/s12888-017-1502-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The disease burden of suicide in Ecuador, a 15 years’ geodemographic cross-sectional study (2001–2015) Esteban Ortiz-Prado1,2,5* , Katherine Simbaña3, Lenin Gómez3, Aquiles R. Henriquez-Trujillo1, Fernando Cornejo-Leon4, Eduardo Vasconez1, Diana Castillo1 and Ginés Viscor2 Abstract Background: Suicide affects people from different backgrounds, ethnical groups, socio-economic status and geographical locations. In Latin America, suicide reports arescarce, specially in Andean countries. In Ecuador, very few reports have partially described this phenomenon, nonetheless, estimation of the burden of disease (BoD) hasnever been reported in the country. Methods: A country-wide comparison was performed using the Ministry of Public Health’s national databases of overall mortality, Hospital Discharges Database, and the Population Census of the National Institute of Census and Statistics (INEC). The study variables analyzed were age, geographical distribution to provincial level, sex, means of suicide, educational attainment, marital status and mortality. Linear Regression and relative Risk analysis were used to predict outcome and the likelihood that suicide occur among study variables. Results: In the last 15 years, 13,024 suicides were officially reported. Men were 3 times more likely than women to die by suicide. The overall age-adjusted suicide ratio in Ecuador corresponds to 7.1 per 100,000 per year. The sex- specific rates were 5.3 in women and 13.2 in men. The primary mean of suicide was hanging X70 (51.1%), followed by self-poisoning X68-X69 (35.2%) and firearms X72-X74 (7.6%).

  • Becoming Psychologists in Ecuador
    Becoming psychologists in Ecuador: A critical ethnography of trainees´ professional identity Manuel Andrés Capella Palacios A Thesis submitted for the research degree of PhD University College London (UCL) 2019 1 2 I, Manuel Andrés Capella Palacios confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _________________________ Manuel Andrés Capella Palacios 3 4 Abstract This thesis is an ethnography of the way psychologists construct their professional identities during their training in a State-funded Ecuadorian University, approached from the perspective of Critical Psychology. Considering the field´s theoretical bias, critical psychologists have called for qualitative data that contribute to ongoing discussions. Responsive to such call, this thesis asked the question: “How do psychologists in contemporary Ecuador construct their professional identity?” The author conducted a twelve-month critical ethnography, focusing on a particular training facility as a strategic site; from there, the inquiry extended to so-called “vulnerable” and “marginal” places, where trainees performed their preprofesional and professional roles. Findings highlight how the negotiation of professional identity is a “messy”, subject-dependent and context-dependent process shaped by power. Trainees dwelled between the coloniality of hegemonic psychology, and a – mostly veiled - cultural resistance to it. They embodied a “dual belonging”, being members

  • 21 April ABSTRACT
    21 April ABSTRACT Our knowledge about the pollination ecology of plants globally, and especially in the tropics, is sadly lacking at a time when both plants and pollinators are experiencing sharp declines. Quantifying the pollination ecology of generalist plants in vulnerable tropical ecosystems should be a key goal of ecology. In order to do so, we must describe the pollination ecology of more systems and study how multipartite interactions with other species, for example nectar robbing, can impact plant-pollinator mutualisms. I investigated the pollination ecology of the Andean tree Oreocallis grandiflora (family: Proteaceae) at the northern and southern ends of its geographic range in Ecuador and Peru. Specifically, I quantified floral morphology, nectar properties and secretion rates, and pollinator visitation rates and community. I found that the two populations differed significantly in terms of floral morphology and nectar properties, and propose that the variation between them may be driven by differences in nocturnal pollinator community rather than by drift or isolation by distance. At both sites I observed nectar robbing by Diglossa flowerpiercers (family: Thraupidae) in O. grandiflora. I then investigated how trait-mediated indirect effects (TMIEs) of nectar robbing by Diglossa impacted nectar secretion, pollination, and reproduction in O.grandiflora in Peru using simulated nectar robbing treatments. I found that simulated nectar robbing significantly reduced the standing crop of O. grandiflora and led to chronically high nectar sucrose concentrations. I also found that robbed flowers experienced fewer visits from pollinators over all, especially by the dominant pollinator, the territorial hummingbird species Aglaeactis cupripennis. However, robbed flowers were visited by a more diverse and even community of hummingbirds.

    Bulletin of Latin American Studies, SA Radcliffe 'Tackling Complex Inequalities and Ecuador's Buen Vivir' accepted version 26 July 2017 Tackling Complex Inequalities and Ecuador's Buen Vivir: Leaving No-one Behind and equality in diversity Sarah A Radcliffe University of Cambridge - Geography Downing Place Cambridge CB2 3EN Abstract: Ecuador's postneoliberal policy of Buen Vivir seeks to reduce social inequality and tackle complex disadvantages associated with gender, location, race-ethnicity and other social differences. The paper analyses governmental Buen Vivir policy thinking and institutional arrangements to explore how Buen Vivir frameworks approach the constitutional commitment to equality in diversity, in light of the global Sustainable Development Goal of "Leaving No-one Behind" (LNOB). In many respects Ecuador has undertaken an array of policy efforts to tackle complex inequalities, and highlights the challenges of LNOB. Situating state Buen Vivir in Ecuador's postcolonial institutionalisation , the paper examines how colonial-modern legacies of knowledge production and governance channel state Buen Vivir policy into the reproduction of exclusionary configurations of power and difference. Keywords: Intersectional inequalities, Policy, Postneoliberalism, Racial discrimination, Affirmative action, sumak kawsay. 1 Bulletin of Latin American Studies, SA Radcliffe 'Tackling Complex Inequalities and Ecuador's Buen Vivir' accepted version 26 July 2017 One of Latin America's enduring features is the steep gradient of inequality in income and wealth, and associated differentials in wellbeing, life expectancy, and influence. Despite middle income status the region exhibits deep gulfs in dignity, security, opportunity and voice (Hoffman and Centeno, 2003; Gootenberg, 2010). In Latin American countries, inequality has recently declined as have levels of extreme poverty (Lopez-Calva and Lustig, 2010; Lustig, Lopez-Calva and Ortiz-Juarez, 2013; Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), 2014).
