    The advocacy coalition framework: A theoretical frame for SANREM to address policy change and learning
    Flora, Cornelia B.; Flora, Jan L.; Campana, F.; Fernández-Baca, Edith (Watkinsville, Ga.: SANREM CRSP, 2001)
    The everyday activities of individuals and communities are generally channeled and limited by decisions about resource allocation and regulation that are taken beyond the local level. These decisions may or may not be contested and the "beneficiaries" of those decisions may or may not be aware of them. Further, these decisions are made not only by governments, but also by corporations and non-governmental organizations. Information is always used to justify those decisions, but it is often sought after the decision to validate the course taken rather than before the decision to inform it.

    The discourse of advocacy coalitions: Desired futures and natural resource issues
    Campana, F.; Bravo, M. (Quito, Ecuador, 2002)
    Using discourse analysis, this paper synthesizes, characterizes, and summarizes information gathered from in-depth interviews and focus groups with key representatives of civil society, state, and market-oriented entities that form existing or emergent advocacy coalitions. Other "data" include those obtained through interactions with many of the principals as a result of the involvement of the NGOs Heifer Project-Ecuador, the Institute for Ecuadorian Studies, and Terranueva in various development and research projects and training efforts in the Canton of Cotacachi. The focus is on three issues that are particularly compelling at the local level, but the six advocacy coalitions (two per issue) include institutions at various levels from the local to international.

    El discurso de las coaliciones de convencimiento: Futuros deseados y temas de recursos naturales Cotacachi-Ecuador
    Campana, F.; García, Magali (2001)
    Using discourse analysis, this presentation synthesizes, characterizes, and summarizes information gathered from in-depth interviews and focus groups with key representatives of civil society, state, and market-oriented entities that form existing or emergent advocacy coalitions. Other data include those obtained through interactions with many of the principals as a result of the involvement of the NGOs Heifer Project-Ecuador, the Institute for Ecuadorian Studies, and Terranueva in various development and research projects and training efforts in the Canton of Cotacachi. The focus is on three issues that are particularly compelling at the local level, but the six advocacy coalitions (two per issue) include institutions at various levels from the local to international. Those issues are mining in Intag, the semi-tropical part of the cantón, and water usage and future governance of the Cotacachi-Cayapas Bio-reserve, focused in the highland portion of Cotacachi.
  • Social capital and advocacy coalitions: Examples from Ecuador
    Flora, Jan L.; Flora, Cornelia B.; Campana, F.; García, Magali; Fernández-Baca, Edith (Watkinsville, Ga.: SANREM CRSP, 2000)
    We have examined advocacy coalitions around the issues of (a) governance of the Cotacachi-Cayapas Ecological Reserve on which the Canton of Cotacachi abuts, and (b) whether open-pit mining will occur in the semitropical part of Cotacachi in northern Ecuador. These issues will be assessed in the context of governmental decentralization and privatization.
  • Social capital and advocacy coalitions: Examples of environment issues from Ecuador
    Flora, Jan L.; Flora, Cornelia B.; Campana, F.; García Bravo, M.; Fernández-Baca, Edith (Cambridge, MA: CABI Publishing, 2006)
    Using the Advocacy Coalition Framework, chapter 19 examines a number of natural resource management issues in Ecuador. Through analysis that focuses on policy then impact, the research traces the formation of social groups to advocate and negotiate for change at a local and then national level. Within this context, the research discusses the governance of a nature reserve and the process for dealing with a controversy over mining in the area.
