ASOCIACIONES PÚBLICO PRIVADAS EN EL ECUADOR Y UNA MIRADA A LA REALIDAD LATINOAMERICANA

Abstract

The objective of this research work is to analyze the public private partnership (PPP) regarding the current norms that regulate it in Ecuador, noting important aspects such as its goal, the process of constitution, advantages, flaws and their current state in the country. In addition, the aim is to compare the legal reality that these partnerships live in Ecuador with the situation that they affront in other countries of the Latin American region. An in-depth study was carried out applying a qualitative comparative methodology on the different laws that regulate the PPP in the country, also taking as references other existing regulations present in other countries of Latin America. This study allowed to conclude that in Ecuador there’s a lack of experience about PPP manner, which bring as a consequence that these partnerships show flaws when they are being applied. These flaws will have to be solve by the application of legal reforms, which could be inspired for the experience of other countries of the region that allow the optimization of this schema in beneficent of the community.
