Abstract
This article offers a reinterpretation of the process of the incorporation of Ecuadorian cocoa to the world market between 1840-1925. This revision uses concepts developed by the Italian economist Giovanni Arrighi: nominal incorporation, peripheral incorporation and non-peripheral incorporation. By their means, the article examines the variety of linkages that developed between the center and the periphery and within the periphery itself. More specifically, two moments of this process are examined in detail: 1840-1890 and 1890-1910. The analysis of the external and internal linkages that took place within each of these moments and the factors of production that sustained them permit the characterization of the first as “nominal incorporation” and of the second as “peripheral”. This distinction contributes to a better understanding of the Ecuadorian cocoa boom in the long 19th century. The article is based on foreign consular reports, a type of documentation that has not been studied sufficiently yet.
