Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze the relationship between resource nationalism and sustainable development in five Andean countries (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile), before, during and after the commodity prices boom. The working hypothesis, formulated against the current neoliberal vision of the resource curse, is that there is no correspondence between the high dependence on resources, nationalist styles of governance and the blockade of sustainable development. The article concludes with a preliminary assessment of economic, social and environmental performance that confirms the hypothesis. This means that institutional designs are a constraint that can and must be modified by the collective agency so that sovereign governance over natural resources fulfills its social-developmentalist purposes as evidenced by the opposing cases of Ecuador and Chile.
