“…Así, la construcción inicial de Lasso de la división correísmo-anticorreísmo fue en gran medida coincidente con la polaridad ideológica izquierda-derecha. Lasso también se mantuvo profundamente unido a su conservadurismo moral de inspiración religiosa, el cual irónicamente es similar al conservadurismo moral del correísmo (Sánchez y Pachano, 2020).…”

Después de haber sido gobernado por izquierdas populistas durante la mayor parte del siglo XXI, en 2021 el Ecuador eligió al derechista Guillermo Lasso como su nuevo presidente. El artículo explica la coyuntura que llevó a Lasso al poder gracias a la conformación de una «coalición antipopulista» que aglutinó a diversos sectores heterogéneos. Este artículo analiza las fortalezas y las debilidades de esta coalición antipopulista, tanto en la disputa electoral como ya en el ejercicio del poder.

After the profound crisis of the end of the 1990s and its aftermath in Ecuador, Correa's presidency (2007-2017 constituted a period of political stability, which was accompanied by an economy thriving on high oil prices and state investments (Sánchez & Pachano 2020). These developments attracted Ecuadorians, who of all immigrant groups in Spain, undertook return journeys at the highest rates (Mercier et al 2016).…”

This article contributes to anthropological reflections on ‘hope’ and ‘expectation’ by analysing the experiences of time of two Ecuadorian migrants who returned to their homeland from Spain and envision their future lives differently. Building on the migrants’ trajectories and reasonings, I propose a clearer conceptual delineation of the notions of hope and expectation than is currently operative in anthropology. I do so by showing their interrelations and articulations, particularly in one’s own experience (constituted by moments of expectation and moments of hope), and by drawing attention to my interlocutors’ temporalisation. As a future-orientation, hope is directed toward change and constitutes an envisioning more open and creative than expectation, which builds on continuity and stability. The notion of ‘duration’ provides insight into the ways my interlocutors compartmentalise their time experience, constituting a sense of past-ness, present-ness, and future-ness, which impacts their future imaginings as hoping versus expecting.

“…Although Correa promised a social‐democratic alternative, embedding principles of buen vivir (good living) in the Constitution and reducing inequalities through social programmes, he consolidated state control, excluding, opposing and fragmenting labour unions, indigenous and other progressive groups. Despite his anti‐neoliberalism rhetoric, Correa aligned government and business interests, financing reforms through agro‐export and extractivist revenues (Alarcón, 2022; Carpio Benalcázar & Ullán de la Rosa, 2021; Sánchez & Pachano, 2020). Subsequent administrations have reaffirmed neoliberal policies, ignoring massive 2019 protests led by unions, indigenous and women's groups and prioritizing corporate profits over social spending (Chiasson‐LeBel, 2019).…”

The pandemic lays bare the centrality of social reproduction in upholding global commodity networks. Capitalism's reliance on gendered and racialized systems of social reproduction has deepened structural contradictions and socio‐economic divides across agro‐export sectors and agrarian communities. We analyse how COVID‐19 policies and responses in Ecuador and Chile are reshaping systems of social and labour protection in feminized agro‐export sectors. We integrate labour regime and gender regime frameworks, showing how they are (1) co‐constituted via global forces, national policies, institutional pressures and local practices; (2) intertwined in neoliberal and social‐democratic development models; and (3) forged through control, consent and resistance. We analyse national legal frameworks and policy responses to COVID‐19, as well as industry, union and worker reactions, illustrating how ‘neutral’ policies have gendered outcomes, (re)creating false binaries between production and reproduction and paid and unpaid work. We find that the pandemic has reshaped gendered labour regimes in agro‐exports: in Ecuador, undermining the fragile commitment to a social‐democratic gendered labour regime and in Chile, strengthening social‐democratic supports and promises of a more equitable gendered labour regime. In both cases, states and firms have neglected to include social reproduction in the ‘costs’ of development, thus threatening national development models grounded in the exploitation of cheap female labour in agro‐export sectors.
