Complex causality, presidential instability, Ecuador, economic crises, social mobilization.Abstract
In this article, we identify economic crises (X1) in the presence of social mobilization (X2) as jointly conditional causes of premature president exit (Y). After identifying common points and tension in the literature, we propose that the study of presidential removal can benefit by incorporating a multiple conjunctural causation framework. Using two case studies of presidential instability in Ecuador, the article suggests that theoretical-empirical discrepancies in the existing literature can be resolved be incorporating more analytically rigorous approaches such as the one we identify.
