About this book
Reviews
“This critical analysis of the Revolución Ciudadana provides a comprehensive view of Rafael Correa’s 10-year government, with detailed chapters covering institutional changes, corruption, gender, social movements, the commoditiesboom, education policy, and other themes. Not only does this account provide a welcome addition to a thin literature on Ecuador, it does so in a comparative and theoretical framework. As such, the manuscript gives the reader details about a particular popular and populist leftist government and tools to build a broader characterization of this regime type.” (Scott Morgenstern, Professor of Political Science, University of Pittsburgh, USA)
