Respuestas pos-sísmicas con un enfoque del desarrollo humano y de derechos humanos: (in)visibilizar actores, derechos y capacidades (Tema Central)

Abstract:

Based on the framework for human rights indicators for public policy, the present article aims to provide an analysis of the fiscal perspective adopted by the Ecuadorian government as a result of the April 16, 2016 earthquake, focusing particularly on its management of response to overcome this natural disaster. It is argued that this perspective has exacerbated violations to certain human rights, affected resilience-oriented capacities of the affected population, and complicated the establishment of adequate conditions for improving the situation of the affected populations particularly in the coastal areas of Muisne, Chamanga and Canoa. Utilizing both ethnographic and geo-mapping methods, the present article examines the logic behind the distinctly vertical approach to reconstruction and its effects on local populations as well as processes for reforming socio-economic fabrics.
