Abstract

The present work aims to make a legal analysis based on a comparative study between the Special Law for the Province of Galapagos (1998) and the Organic Law of the Special Regime for the Province of Galapagos (2015), taking as context the texts of the Political Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador of 1998 and 2008. Each time a constitutional change occurs, the entire legal system must adapt to the new scheme provided by the Supreme Norm. That is why this work is written in a legal environment that seeks to analyze and compare the transformations that occurred in the Organic Law of the Special Regime for the Province of Galapagos in the aspect of the government structure and administration of the archipelago, in relation to the competences, and above all, with regard to economic activities. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate how, from the legal point of view, the singularities of the social life of the inhabitants and the natural environment of the Area Under Special Regime of the Galapagos Islands. The promulgation of the 2008 Constitution favored two fundamental changes in the Galapagos Islands: the creation of the Governing Council, therefore greater institutionality and authority in the province, and preferential access for residents. The limitation of rights provided for in the Organic Law of the Special Regime for the Province of Galapagos (2015) makes other benefits necessary for residents that do not exist for other Ecuadorians.
