Resumo:The author advocates for the development of a closer relation between Ecuador and the APEC countries. It is stated that the new Ecuadorian administration must design its policies in accordance to the boundaries imposed by liberal democracy and free markets. The foreign policy must also be aimed at fostering international trade, capital flows, and national competitiveness.
