BURIANO CASTRO, Ana. Ecuador 1868: the Frustration of a Transition. Electoral Situation and Political Practices. Secuencia [online]. 2013, n.86, pp.77-109. ISSN 2395-8464.

Study of a situation that was postponed and reduced to the condition of Inter-regnum (1865-1868) between the two administrations of Garcia Moreno. Based on legislative and newspaper sources, letters and leaflets, the article focuses on the year with the greatest potential in the triennial period as a critical moment for the observation of political practices. 1868 condenses the emergence of various novelties. These include an alternative project based on an inter-regional alliance that outlined a continental, third party political group that would transcend. It was also a period of numerous conflicts with provincial governorships and the cradle of an editorial eclosion that reflected the freedom of the printing press. A new Catholic, modern, tolerant Ecuador, with continental bases, seemed to be emerging and sweeping away the centralist, authoritarian project. The electoral campaign of 1868 activated the field of politics in the dispute over government.
