Abstract

Abstract:The objective of this research work is the Governance and Governance Analysis of the mining sector in Ecuador. For this purpose, the methodology of Institutional Analysis and Development of Elinor Ostrom was used as a methodology, in which the situation or behavior of the individuals in collective action is determined. In first instance the legal regulation was determined being the main normative body the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador who dictates the laws and norms on which the mining to develop. Likewise, a review was made of the institutional regulations where all the entities in charge of dictating mining policies are located and, therefore, of carrying out the controls and audits of the mining companies in order to enforce the established norms. The application of the model seeks to establish the type of interaction between the actors of the four types of mining: artisanal mining, small mining, medium mining, large-scale mining and the institutional part.
