Análisis de los discursos de Ecuador en la organización de Naciones Unidas período 2007-2016

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the discourses made by Ecuador in the framework of the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization during the period 2007-2016, identifying the principal discursive categories proposed by this country from a counter-hegemonic perspective. It is based on the mixed methodology with emphasis on the qualitative approach through the comparative and analytical method. For the analysis, an ad hoc matrix was built that includes the main variables and categories. The principal results were the preeminence of political and social issues, alternation of main actor between representatives of the Executive (President, Vice President and Chancellor) and delegates and representatives that follow the same critical discourse line, the identification of United States, (IMF, WB, ICSID) as political adversaries and the predominance of the use of the following categories: representative democracy and Buen Vivir.
