Why Ecuador matters
President Rafael Correa of Ecuador is one the region's most
intriguing politicians. He is also one of the most ambitious and ruthless. The
most effective critics of his administration are almost all his former close
allies. Ministers who fail to deliver are dumped unceremoniously, reinforcing
the image of Correa as a man with a mission. Significantly, important members of
Correa's administration are now starting to argue that their vision, especially
on economic and environmental issues, has implications beyond
Ecuador.
