description This article deals with some military governments efforts to build a state that could serve broad public rather than simply narrow private interests, and it does so with reference to the obstacles rooted in Ecuador’s patterns of social-political domination that have undercut those efforts. The article begins with a description of contrasts between the so-called “revolutions” of July 1925 and January 2000. It then briefly reviews key moments in state building from 1925to 1979, the policies of state dismantling pursued by civilian elites since the transition to democracy in the latter year, and military responses to recent social protest.

Este artículo trata sobre los esfuerzos de algunos gobiernos militares por construir un Estado que responda a los intereses de la nación y no a los intereses privados de una minoría, esfuerzos que han encontrado límites en los enraizados patrones de dominación socio-política del Ecuador. El artículo comienza con una descripción de las diferencias entre la llamada “Revolución Juliana”, y las propuestas planteadas en enero de 2000, durante el derrocamiento de Jamil Mahuad. Sigue con una revisión de los momentos clave para la construcción del Estado, desde 1925 hasta 1979, las políticas de desmantelamiento del Estado llevadas a cabo por las elites civiles desde la transición hacia la democracia en el último año mencionado, y las respectivas respuestas militares a recientes protestas sociales.
