Abstract
This paper made an analysis of the Interventional Policy of the period
comprised by the governments of President Rafael Correa in the period 2008
to 2017, contextualized within the framework of the Theory of Curse of
Resources; highlighting the active government participation in the economy in
an attempt to stabilize and avoid cyclical fluctuations, especially by the
historical dependence on exports of raw materials, specifically oil, historically
linked to the control of private companies. It consists of a case study, which
emphasizes qualitative research with a combination of quantitative resources.
For this reason, methodological triangulation is resorted to; The first, from a
reflective position, provides an intimate description that makes it possible to
weigh the context as the meaning of events through an ethnographic vision,
without falling into a simple description and refers to different orientations that
contribute to a mosaic of political and economic perspectives. While, the
second, offers a perspective of the reality expressed in different statistics that
have been considered, such as Public Expenditure, Gross Domestic Product
and Investment.
Keywords: petroleum; nonrenewable resources; politics; international
intervention.
