This paper analyzes local productive systems by identifying their business structure, and the role played by the main sectors of economic activity in the territory of Cotopaxi-Ecuador as the subject of study. It highlights the Andean-Latin American approach to integral, territorial, and sustainable development, based on the triangulation of regional analysis techniques (specialization and location coefficients, cluster analysis, and Rasmussen's method), to characterize the dynamics of the local productive system, as well as lines of improvement to strengthen the system. The results indicate the presence of two provincial clusters, a high degree of regional specialization in traditional activities that have little impact on the province’s productivity, and the presence of two key economic sectors.

Palabras llave : local productive system; productive specialization; cluster; productive sectors.
