Buen Vivir as an Alternative to Sustainable Development
Until recently, the concept of Buen Vivir has only been loosely articulated by practising communities and in progressive policy in countries like Ecuador. As such there has been a lack of understanding about exactly what Buen Vivir entails, its core principles and how to put it into practice. What it actually means has been unclear, and in the case of policy, contradictory.
It uses an ethnographic study in Cotacachi County, in Ecuador's highland communities, to explore how communities understand and practice Buen Vivir. This book, based on extensive theoretical and field research of Buen Vivir as an alternative to sustainable development, fills that gap and offers a concrete way forward. Combining this with what we already know about the concept theoretically, the book then develops a framework for Buen Vivir with 17 principles for practice.Exploring Buen Vivir's evolution
