- Políticas industriales andinas durante el auge de materias primas. ¿Estados
desarrollistas o rentistas?
[Articolo su rivista]
de la Cruz, Fernando; Caria, Sara
abstract
El inicio del siglo xxi ofreció dos experimentos destacados en materia de políticas industriales en América
Latina: la Bolivia de Evo Morales y el Ecuador de Rafael Correa. Este trabajo realiza un análisis comparado de ambas
experiencias a través de la puesta en relación de sus modelos de inserción internacional y de sus efectos sobre el marco
institucional encargado de desplegar las políticas industriales. El trabajo concluye que el patrón de inserción internacional
de estos países presenta un sesgo hacia la “maldición de los recursos”, inhibiendo la creación de instituciones y políticas
industriales genuinamente orientadas a la promoción de la productividad y la competitividad internacional, y fomentando
comportamientos rentistas en el sector público.

- Cooperation Regimes and Hegemonic Struggle: Opportunities and Challenges for Developing Countries
[Articolo su rivista]
Caria, Sara
abstract
There is an increasing convergence in the international relations literature around the idea that changes in the world econ‐
omy during the last decades are reshaping the international order; although the outcome of such a reconfiguration is yet
unclear, many scholars argue that a dispute over global hegemony is already underway. At the same time, drawing on realist
and neorealist approaches, international cooperation can be seen as a means to gain legitimacy and tighten alliances. In this
framework, this article analyses three cooperation regimes as terrains of dispute to expand—or maintain—international
leadership. The first, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda, reflects mainly the attempt to maintain the legit‐
imacy of the United Nations system and the multilateral institutions that make up the traditional cooperation regime. This
framework still responds to Western interests, despite China’s efforts to contest and contain US influence. The second,
South–South Cooperation, wrapped up in the rhetoric of horizontality and common challenges, is the privileged terrain
of middle powers and emerging countries, aiming at increasing regional influence. Finally, the third scheme, International Cooperation for Structural Transformation, is China’s new development doctrine and the fulcrum of its struggle to pro‐
mote itself as a successful new model for global development. In my conclusions I reflect on the opportunities that the
co‐existence of different regimes offers for developing countries, as well as the challenges that they continue to face in
their search for autonomous development paths.

- Buen Vivir: Praise, instrumentalization, and reproductive pathways of good living in Ecuador
[Articolo su rivista]
Dominguez, R.; Caria, S.; Leon, M.
abstract
In this article, we trace the avatars of the official concept of Buen Vivir (Good Living), and its understanding and translation as Sumak Kausay in the new Constitution of Ecuador, where it was converted from a subaltern concept that emerged in the 1990s to the country’s trademark. Our main hypothesis is that although Buen Vivir may be described as a social phenomenon in some specific social contexts (such as among Amazonian Sarayaku indigenous communities), it mostly represents an invented tradition. As a subordinate hypothesis, we argue that Buen Vivir, which originally appeared at the margins of the State and political power, later became an empty signifier, allowing for its instrumentalization and co-optation by the Citizens’ Revolution and generating an opening for future prospects in the way of operationalization and internationalization that converged with efforts to promote alternative measures and notions of development to the GDP.

- Oil in Ecuador, 2000-2015: Curse, blessing or just a resource?
[Articolo su rivista]
Caria, S.
abstract
Oil has been Ecuadors most important export product since the 70s; the current low prices of commodities have placed the need of a productive diversification in the center of the debate about development strategies. In this paper, it is aimed at establishing whether the dependence on oils exports has been an obstacle for the diversification of Ecuadorian economy during the recent commodities boom (2003-2014), as the «product trap» thesis suggests. For this purpose, a survey on the literature about the so called «resources curse» will be made in order to identify the main rationales that support this thesis and the policy recommendations that literature on this topic suggests to oil-rich countries. Then, the Ecuadorian case will be analyzed to search evidence that confirm the existence of an «oil curse» in Ecuador. The results show that oil dependence and low diversification are empirically associated, but no clear causal relation can be established between them.

- ECUADOR IN THE MIDDLE-INCOME TRAP
[Articolo su rivista]
Dominguez, R.; Caria, S.
abstract
The middle income trap (MIT) alludes to the challenges that middle income countries face in converging with developed nations, due to their inability to complete the productive transition from low value-added sectors (commodities and natural resource- and labor-intensive manufactured goods) to high value-added sectors (technology-intensive manufactured goods). The objective of this paper is to evaluate the causes behind the MIT in which Ecuador has been entrenched for the past 60 years and the country's prospects for emerging from this trap, analyzing official development strategies and the conditions that the emerging literature about the MIT (which connects with the theory of the developmentalist State and its problematic exportation to the Latin America region) has found are needed for countries that export just a few commodities to make strides forward in development.
