El desarrollo de la ciencia política en Ecuador, en el período de Rafael Correa: historia y teorías

Abstract

Abstract: Political science as a relationship between power and society establishes the continuity and stability of a political system, that is, a ruler not only has power, but must also have governability before the people based on their organization, institutional structure to the perception of the governed regarding their policy decisions. It is in this way that the behavior of the economic cycles of a state and its political system can be understood. In the Ecuadorian case, since 1978 democracy has been affected by several power crises affecting the development of political science and undermining acts of corruption, abuse of power and national and international democratic conflicts. For this reason, this work seeks to understand the development of political science in the period of Rafael Correa's government using the descriptive method, specifically the deductive, historical, comparative and analytical method. The results obtained after the analysis show that Correísmo legitimized abuses of power after the Alianza País party, which did not intend to end the long neoliberal night, since it only became a new way of governing after the post-neoliberal system.
