Abstract
The failure of both democracies and revolutions in Latin America is due to the fact that the State has been trusted with political, economic and social organization, instead of relying on the motivations and capabilities of intermediate associations and the individual members of society. Therefore, the process of change is not just a matter of national decision; it is something that must, and will, take place. Ecuador understands perfectly well the need for reform. Major laws have already been enacted, and a bill for modernization of the State is currently under consideration by congress. The concept of modernization and, therefore, change does not merely imply new laws, simplified procedures or easier operations; it basically means allowing the creative forces of individuals, enterprises and intermediate associations to play a more influential role. As in other Latin American countries, in Ecuador there can be no real modernization, no real change in society without a major revolution in energy and telecommunications. Thus, two important laws have been drafted to demonopolize petroleum and electric power operations and open them up both to national and foreign private sector participation.
