Abstract

This paper focuses on the dynamics of producers associations in the Amazonian (northeast) region of Ecuador. A colonization process has characterized this region over several decades, as well as the presence of oil extraction activity. Agriculture is mainly for subsistence, however several associations have emerged in order for producers to find new sources of revenue. These associations face the classical collective action problems. This paper presents a preliminary work in which we identify: What type of associations better succeed in achieving common goals? What are their main characteristics? In fine, associations with "strong" charismatic leaders, where the common goal is to access new markets are more likely to succeed than associations formed around short terms goals such as the search for public funds.
