Abstract
Este artículo discute las motivaciones que llevan a algunos presidentes a cambiar la orientación de las políticas públicas de su predecesor a pesar de provenir de una vertiente político-partidista similar. Aunque intuitivamente una variación en el statu quo es esperable en circunstancias de alternancia ideológica en el Ejecutivo, esto no siempre se cumple. Ecuador, durante los gobiernos de Rafael Correa y Lenín Moreno, es un excelente caso de estudio no sólo para describir el fenómeno planteado sino para identificar algunas explicaciones. A través de estadística descriptiva y narrativas históricas proponemos que, cuando las dificultades políticas y económicas arrecian, las convicciones ideológicas son desplazadas. Por ello, estudiar los cambios suscitados en Ecuador sirve para el análisis del vínculo entre costos y beneficios en la toma de decisiones públicas.
This article discusses the motivations that lead some presidents to change the direction of their predecessor’s public policies, despite the fact that they come from a similar political-party background. Although intuition suggests that a change in the status quo is to be expected when there is an ideological shift in the Executive, this is only sometimes the case. The governments of Rafael Correa and Lenin Moreno in Ecuador are an excellent case study to describe this phenomenon and identify some explanations. Through descriptive statistics and historical narratives, we propose that ideological convictions are displaced when political and economic difficulties increase. Studying the changes in Ecuador can therefore contribute to analysis of the link between costs and benefits in public decision-making.
