“…Under Correa, Ecuador, according to Carlos de la Torre and Andrés Ortiz Lemos, has undergone a “process of democratic erosion” that “might well result in the establishment of a competitive authoritarian regime” (2015, 223). Santiago Basabe-Serrano and Julián Martínez (2014, 146) are more unequivocal: Ecuador, they argue, “fully fits the concept of competitive authoritarianism,” although they note that democracy would deteriorate further should Correa seek to perpetuate himself in power past 2017 (2014, 165–66). Sofía Vera Rojas and Santiago Llanos-Escobar (2016, 168–69) stress the deterioration of the quality of democracy without suggesting that Ecuador’s political system has become nondemocratic.…”

Scholarly attention has increasingly shifted from diminished subtypes of democracy to hybrid regimes, particularly competitive authoritarianism. Such regimes retain democracy's formal features while failing to meet its minimum standards. When properties of distinct concepts like democracy and authoritarianism are combined, however, confusion, inaccuracy, and mischaracterization of cases may occur. By disaggregating political systems into electoral institutions, surrounding rights and freedoms, constitutionalism, and the rule of law, this article complicates the binary distinction between a midrange definition of democracy and competitive authoritarianism. A number of Andean cases are found to fall on the spectrum of defective democracies between these categories. Defective democracies break down when rulers violate the conditions necessary for institutionalized alternation in power by means of public participation and loyal opposition in an electoral regime. Given leaders' reliance on electoral legitimacy, however, even defective democracies may prove surprisingly resilient.

“…At the border between the real and the imaginary, the history of this project shows how a new elite composed mainly of middle-class intellectuals, bureaucrats and business peoplewho accumulated capital and power during Correas' administrationused the surplus produced during the expansion phase of the peripheral economic cycle (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014) to produce and maintain a new power structure. This structure was based on the instrumentalization and strengthening of the government control over the media, the Courts, the Assembly, and the use of the public budget for the benefit of their businesses and political patronage but also to subordinate the elites linked to the financial and commercial capital (Basabe and Martínez 2014). This group of elites used a symbolic strategy based on propaganda and the mobilization of a techno-scientific modernization imaginary to justify the policies, actions and programs that let them increase their power.…”

On the basis of interviews, observations and archival analysis, this article explores the controversies surrounding the Yachay project case in Ecuador and unveils three ideological processes behind its conception and implementation. First, we show how the new elite in the government used this project to produce and reproduce a new power structure using a symbolic strategy based on propaganda and on an imaginary of techno-scientific modernization. Second, we unveil the material and symbolic reproduction of a cosmopolitan elite of international experts that profited from the Ecuadorian public funds in exchange for their name and prestige, thanks to a discourse based on cosmopolitanism, urgency, and voluntarism. Finally, we explain how the Yachay project has triggered the reconfiguration of the local symbolic sphere according to the new conditions of reproduction of the world system by reshaping the local imaginaries around technology and innovation. We conclude that Yachay, like other similar projects that have emerged at the same time in other parts of the world, is part of a global process of reconfiguration of the ideological and institutional conditions that accompany the deployment of the latest wave of technoeconomic transformations in the global system.
