Foreign Policy
Ecuador's foreign policy has shifted significantly between left-leaning (Correa era, 2007-2017) and more centrist/right-leaning administrations. Under Correa, Ecuador was closely aligned with ALBA, expelled the US military base at Manta, and championed 'Citizens' Revolution' diplomacy. Subsequent governments have re-engaged with the US and pursued free trade agreements.
Ecuador is a member of OPEC and uses its oil leverage in economic diplomacy. Its constitutional rights for nature and the Yasuni referendum have made it a reference point in global environmental governance debates.
