Los actores de la lucha no violenta en Ecuador: El rol de los jóvenes en las elecciones presidenciales 2017 en Ecuador

During the government of President Rafael Correa, the Ecuadorian population had been constantly involved in nonviolent struggles, either when government measures diverged from the initial approaches of the Citizen Revolution or when their interests were affected. In 2017 presidential elections in Ecuador, a non-violent campaign was organized in order to achieve clean elections due to irregularities in the process. In this struggle, the role of actors such as: military, church, media outlets, political figures, among others, is highlighted. However, youth participation has been overlooked. Hence, the purpose of this research is to give visibility to this population group, focusing on the frequency, motivations, mechanisms of participation, level of organization and knowledge about non-violence. This research is based on an exploratory study of 125 university students between 18 and 24 years old in Quito city.
