description This article analyses the scope of citizen participation in the new constitutional project in Ecuador. This work draws comparisons between the 2008 project of constitution and the 1998 Constitution within the parameters of a discussion about political regime crisis. It argues that the 2008 project upholds and builds upon the promises of participation included in the 1998 Constitution. The author questions the relationship between civil society, political regimes and the State in a context of state-strengthening, weak social actors and a government indifferent to participation.

En este artículo se busca analizar los alcances de la participación ciudadana en el nuevo proyecto de Constitución, comparándolo con los textos de la anterior Carta de 1998, en el marco de crisis del régimen político. Se plantea que el nuevo texto mantiene y amplía los contenidos sobre  participación  respecto  de  la  Constitución  de  1998  y  se  formulan  varios  interrogantes sobre  la  articulación  entre  sociedad  civil,  sistema  político  y  Estado  en  una  fase  de  fortalecimiento estatal, debilidad de los actores sociales y un gobierno apático a la participación.
