Then, a qualitative research methodology is used, based on the analysis of two case studies concerning relevant ERT in Argentina. Our research is based on the hypothesis that ERT are different from traditional workers’ cooperatives. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources, including interviews with the workers. The case studies highlight the characteristics on governance processes in ERT, and on their peculiarities from traditional capitalist firms. The concluding observations regarding the relationship between ERT and their external environment are particularly important, and open the path for future research on this topic.","PeriodicalId":217747,"journal":{"name":"Gobernar: The Journal of Latin American Public Policy and Governance","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126027668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empiricamente, el trabajo se basa en la investigacion de campo \u0000realizada en Espana durante tres anos (2014-2016), que incluyo 36 entrevistas cualitativas y \u0000observaciones participantes. Los hallazgos indican que los activistas consideran, de un lado, a \u0000las practicas organizacionales como medios cruciales para lograr el cambio social y, de otro \u0000lado, a las organizaciones como organizaciones parciales, especificamente, para lograr una \u0000membresia abierta y estructuras no jerarquicas. Al hacer esto para implementar las metas del \u0000movimiento de manera prefigurativa en sus practicas organizativas diarias, son ampliamente \u0000aceptados los limites y restricciones de las practicas de auto-organizacion. Al contribuir a una \u0000comprension mas profunda de la filosofia subyacente de organizaciones de movimientos \u0000sociales, este articulo deberia ser util para activistas y academicos del movimiento social.","PeriodicalId":217747,"journal":{"name":"Gobernar: The Journal of Latin American Public Policy and Governance","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131953894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, CSOs in the country face challenges related to normative changes that regulate their activity, lower flow of resources from international cooperation as Ecuador is considered a middle income country and, also, the tendency to a state of organizational inertia. The methodology includes primary information obtained from speeches by CSO leaders and the identification and analysis of good practices for the integrated sustainability of CSOs. The main results of the article are that sustainability in Ecuador depends on an adequate management of resources, institutional capacity and creative adaptation to changing environments.","PeriodicalId":217747,"journal":{"name":"Gobernar: The Journal of Latin American Public Policy and Governance","volume":"31 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121007048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first block (1996 to 2005) is related to a neoliberal period that consolidated a weak and reduced institutional structure focused on protecting the interests of the economic elites. The second (2006-2017), states a major change of traditional representation figures and the rise to power of the 'Citizen Revolution'.","PeriodicalId":217747,"journal":{"name":"Gobernar: The Journal of Latin American Public Policy and Governance","volume":"242 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132126544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
