Resumen
In the context of the democratic boom in the 80’s, most of the Latin American countries and nations from
other parts of the world lived multiple impacts; one of the topics that got prominence from that reformist
movement was the modernization of the State through the decentralization of the sectional governments,
considered as one of the main political centralized strategies to make flexible and democratize the centralized and rigid institutional political systems, this, in some countries, favored the design of their own developing plans for the local governments. In others, like in Ecuador, it did not have repercussion; it was more a speech than a consolidated political practice in the geographical regions, provinces and cities.
