Description: Ecuador's "Good Living" by Carlos E. Gallegos Anda Gallegos Anda offers a groundbreaking critical appraisal of "Buen Vivir"-Ecuadors much vaunted, constitutionally mandated approach to development. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Ecuadors "Good Living" : Crises, Discourse, and Law scholar and Ecuadoran official Carlos E. Gallegos Anda presents a critical appraisal of the concept of Buen Vivir-or sumak kawsay by its indigenous name. Buen Vivir was enshrined in Ecuadors 2008 Constitution and purports to map out a community-centric and ecologically sound path for development. Due to its apparent legal novelty, this normative formula received much praise from multiple civil society and academic circles by forging what some argued to be a new development paradigm based on Andean epistemologies. Gallegos Anda theorizes this important phenomenon through an inductive analysis of context and power relations. Through a masterful navigation of epistemological fields, the author offers a critical theory of Buen Vivir that focuses on changing citizenship regimes, a retreating state, politicised ethnic cleavages, discursive democracy, and the emergence of an empty signifier.Gallegos-Andas book is the first to situate Buen Vivir in a theoretical context grounded in international human rights law. Author Biography Carlos E. Gallegos Anda has served in various positions within the Ecuadorian Government and consulted for a number of international organizations. He has published monographs, translations and edited books regarding environmental law, indigenous rights, Latin-American politics, international public law and socioeconomic rights.
