Let us choose a point $S$ on the circumcircle of $BDE$ such that $SD = SE$. Since $\angle BES = \angle BDS$, we see that $\angle SDA = \angle SEC$. Because $AD = EC$ and $SD = SE$, we have $\triangle SDA = \triangle SEC$. It follows that $\angle ASC = \angle DSE = \angle DBE = \angle ABC$. Hence $S$ must lie on the circumcircle of $ABC$. Thus $\triangle DSE \sim \triangle ASC$. From the congruency, we have $\frac{DE}{AC} = \frac{1}{2}$. Hence the ratio of the circumradii of $BDE$ and $ABC$ is $\frac{1}{2}$.
