This book examines the “left turn” in Latin American politics, specifically through the lens of Ecuador and the effects of the Citizens’ Revolution’s actions and public policies on relevant actors and institutions. Through a comprehensive analysis of one country’s turn to the left and the outcomes generated by that process, the authors and editors provide a clearer understanding of the ways in which the popular desire for change (predominant through the region in recent times, as a response to late-twentieth-century neoliberalism) was realized—or not. The particular case of Ecuador further potentiates analysis of the entire region-wide process, considering that the “corrector” cycle is now at an end, and that the economic and international conditions that favored the return of left governments have also changed. Francisco Sánchez is Director of the Instituto de Iberoamérica and Associate Professor of Political Science, Universidad de Salamanca, Spain. Simón Pachano is Professor-Researcher of Political Science at FLACSO Ecuador, Ecuador.

Les grands récits de l'histoire de l'humanité s'accordent à rappeler que l'homme s'est très tôt attaché à recueillir les données topographiques du monde, afin de mieux comprendre et s'approprier ses valeurs matérielles et immatérielles, ses richesses et son énergie existentielle. Pour les pays d'Occident et en particulier pour l'Europe, l'Orient a très tôt constitué un horizon attirant de désirs et de voyages, comme un paradis perdu, un monde originel. Sans prétendre à l'exhaustivité, cet ouvrage, fruit des travaux du colloque international « Parcourir le monde : les voyages d'Orient » (Paris, École nationale des chartes, 22-23 mars 2012), a souhaité contribuer, par quelques exemples comme autant d'étapes clés d'une longue histoire, à la compréhension de quelques enjeux de la cartographie, majeurs pour l'histoire du dialogue complexe des cultures et des civilisations, et plus particulièrement pour l'histoire des relations entre l'orientale Arabie et l'Occident.
