  • Central Bank of Ecuador, 1927: Among Dictatorship, Revolution and Crisis
    Volume 2, Number 1, 128-173, January-June 2017 doi: 10.1344/jesb2017.1.j025 Cristian Paúl Naranjo Navas Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo (Ecuador) Central Bank of Ecuador, 1927: among Dictatorship, Revolution and Crisis Abstract On July 9th, 1925, a coup d’état overthrew the Ecuadorian government of the president Gonzalo S. Córdova. The Military Junta chose the new president, Dr. Isidro Ayora, who founded the Central Bank of Ecuador in 1927. The majority of historians emphasize the patriotic spirit of the military forces in order to eliminate the influence of private banks. Nonetheless, there is a less popular view of the process known as the Julian Revolution, which understands the coup d’état, and the foundation of the Central Bank of Ecuador, as the result of struggles between bankers due to controversies around currency emissions. The arguments behind the Julian Revolution were based on some economic facts. Even though real GDP did not decrease in any year from 1913 to 1927, there was a generalized perception of a critical economy due to the constant fluctuation in prices, the increasing of fiscal deficit, and the reduction of revenues from the trade balance. This article proposes two hypotheses: first, the economic crisis was not an isolated case in Latin America, on the contrary, it was part of a regional trend; second, the economic crisis only affected the urban areas, which account for less than half of the total population.

  • The Mining Enclave of the Cóndor Mountain Range
    The mining enclave of the “Cordillera del Cóndor” Gloria Chicaiza - Acción Ecológica, Ecuador March 2010 Abstract In the provinces of Morona Santiago and Zamora Chinchipe in southeast Ecuador, a number of large-scale copper and gold mining projects to be undertaken by Canadian companies are moving forward. The same thing is happening on the Peruvian side of the border, the entire territory of which is inhabited by the Shuar indigenous people. These projects will imply the creation of massive quantities of waste and the use of huge amounts of water and energy, as well as the construction of new roads. The authors of this paper believe that the economic benefits of mining operations must be weighed against the socio-environmental liabilities. The actors in the various conflicts over mining are examined in this chapter, all of them with different interests and values that are mutually incommensurable, ranging from financial profit and the country’s development to the sacredness of the territory involved and indigenous rights. The history of the last 20 years of resistance by the Shuar people is of course outlined, and the divisions that have emerged among them. Among key actors are also international and national conservationist organizations that, paradoxically, are not opposed to mining. The government of President Rafael Correa is inclined towards the exploitation of mining resources, as demonstrated by the adoption in 2009 of a new Mining Law that contradicts the Constitution of 2008 and its goal of “Buen Vivir” (living well). Repression has been used against those who oppose open-pit mining but local resistance to mining has the support of Ecuadorian and international environmental organizations.
