“…Much of this literature questions the feasibility and desirability of exponential economic growth and explores alternatives that allow for human development within planetary limits (e.g. Barry, 2012;Blauwhof, 2012;D'Alisa, Demaria, & Kallis, 2014;Demailly, Chancel, Waisman, & Guivarch 2013;Ferguson, 2015;Hayden, 2014;Tanuro, 2013;Vanhulst & Beling, 2014). But the question of how to pursue economic development under conditions of continuing environmental degradation is not a purely academic one.…”

“…In Ecuador, the indigenous concept of Sumak Kawsay (Buen Vivir) found expression in the national Constitution of 2008 as a way of pursuing a fully sustainable and inclusive society (SENPLADES, 2013). The translation of Buen Vivir into the debate on sustainable development (Vanhulst and Beling, 2014), as well as in the political-ideological arena (Walsh, 2010), is not without tensions. However, Buen Vivir can offer fertile insights that help to build a renewed understanding of the theory and practice of development.…”

The debate on growth and development that has been going on over the last decades has clearly highlighted a number of flaws and contradictions that the theory, as well as the practice, of International Development Cooperation (IDC) has failed to address in a convincing and effective way. IDC, once the prime tool for promoting a change in the livelihoods of the poorest and most vulnerable, is increasingly under scrutiny and does not seem to have provided an effective response to the current crisis. Buen Vivir (good life), Latin America's new concept for collective well-being, which has emerged over recent years from the traditional cosmovisions of Andean indigenous peoples and translated into political and institutional practice, offers elements of reflection on economy, environment and social life that are useful for reframing the way 'well-being' is conceived within the current development setting: a fresh perspective on the most urgent global concerns is particularly useful as the debate regarding the successors to the Millennium Development Goals post-2015 starts to heat up. The new approach to IDC developed in Ecuador in recent years represents an attempt to put some of these elements into practice. However, beyond the experiences in Latin America, that can claim a closer link, albeit not without tensions, with the indigenous peoples with which the Buen Vivir culture has its roots, these suggestions can show an interesting convergence with alternative views on development emerging from the reflections and practices of Western social movements.

“…Barski 2017), es wird im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs jedoch kontrovers diskutiert: Einerseits gilt Buen Vivir als spezifi sch lateinamerikanischer Beitrag zu Nachhaltigkeit, indem der MenschNatur-Dualismus und die expansive Entwicklung kritisiert sowie die Transformation von Wirtschaft und intra-und intergenerationellen Machtbeziehungen gefordert werden (vgl. Vanhulst & Beling 2014). Andererseits sei Buen Vivir wegen seiner "Rückstän-digkeit" (Gryl & Budke 2016: 64) nicht mit dem eurozentrischen Nachhaltigkeitsbegriff kompatibel.…”
