“…Solidarity as a modern invention could be traced back to the 19 th century, when Europe experienced several revolutions. During the first part of the 19 th century, solidarity was expressed as people organizing themselves collectively in associations to gain some respect and demand their rights (Kohn, 2022).…”

En el año 2008 se introdujo en la Constitución ecuatoriana el nuevo y controvertido paradigma político: Buen Vivir (BV). La elaboración de una nueva Constitución fue una promesa de campaña presidencial y el concepto de BV se convirtió en un objetivo central del plan de desarrollo gubernamental. Para implementar los principios del BV en las políticas estatales, el gobierno lanzó un sistema económico alternativo llamado Economía Social y Solidaria (ESS). El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar como las comunidades indígenas y no indígenas del área rural de la sierra ecuatoriana experimentaron el BV y la ESS a nivel comunitario.Para ello, se utilizaron entrevistas cara a cara y grupos focales para la recolección de datos que fueron analizados mediante la utilización del Análisis Temático (AT). Este estudio sugiere una fuerte asociación entre la implementación de políticas gubernamentales basadas en los principios del BV y una reducción de los niveles de pobreza y desigualdad durante la última década. Sin embargo, no todos hanpercibido esta transformación como progreso, lo que provoca preocupación sobre el papel del Estado como proveedor y regulador. Palabras clave: Buen Vivir, Sumak Kawsay, Economía Social y Solidaria, Ecuador, Región Andina AbstractIn 2008, the new and controversial political paradigm Buen Vivir (BV) was introduced in the Ecuadorian Constitution. The drafting of a new constitution was a presidential campaign promise, and the concept of BV became a central objective of the government’s development plan. To implement the principles of BV into state policies, the government launched an alternative economic system known as Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE). The objective of this study was to analyze how indigenous and non-indigenous people from the rural areas of the Ecuadorian highlands experienced BV and SSE at the community level. For this, face-to-face interviewsand focus groups were used for data collection, and Thematic Analysis (TA) was chosen for the analysis. This study suggests a strong association between the implementation of governmental policies based on BV principles and a reduction in levels of povertyand inequality over the past decade. However, not everybody has perceived this transformation as progress, raising concerns about the role of the state as a provider and regulator.

“…There are large questions of distribution of resources. An important, anti-capitalist strain of republican thought calls attention to the dangers of economic dependence and corporate domination (Kohn, 2022;Laborde, 2010;Thompson, 2019). These distributions are troubling regardless of their origins, but they often have colonial and imperial histories of political domination and resource extraction.…”

Migrants invariably and unavoidably experience domination under the nation-state centered concepts, categories, and institutions that structure our political thinking. In response, we need to build new forms of citizenship, including local, regional, transnational, and supranational forms of belonging, accompanied by meaningful, democratic, political power. In this paper, I examine historical and present-day alternative models of political organization as possible viable alternatives to state-centric liberal democracy. It begins the task of assessing these models using radical republican theory that grounds non-domination in the active and equal participation of people subject to power.I have three broad aims. First, we need to break down the native-migrant dichotomy to highlight commonalities and search for solidarities among migrants and other marginalized and oppressed groups, including indigenous groups. Second, I seek to awaken the political imagination. Many people do not believe there are viable alternatives to liberal democracy centered around the nation-state. In response, we should draw attention to the ways in which the nation-state’s hegemony is fragile and fragmented and the ways in which sovereignty is complex and contested. Most importantly, we need to consider alternative models for inspiration. Third, we need tools for assessing the desirability of alternatives and for building new forms of citizenship.In what follows, first I explain why the dominant, nation-state centered model of political organization is unable to deliver justice in today’s world, or, indeed, address the collective dangers that humanity faces. I next provide a sketch of a radical republican vision that provides normative guidance our thinking about alternative institutions. I end by using this radical republic vision to reflect on possibilities to guide efforts to remake the world.

“…9 At the macro level, Margret Kohn has described solidarity as a civic virtue. 10 Likewise, Lawrence Wilde observes that '[i]n essence, solidarity is the feeling of reciprocal sympathy and responsibility among members of a group which promotes mutual support'. 11 Wilde discusses the potential of the EU in extending solidarity and points at the central place of solidarity in the writings of Jürgen Habermas, who pointed at the EU as a potential for developing a post-national conception of citizenship.…”

The Constitutional Concept of Solidarity in Eu Law: Some Reflections on The Interrelationship Between Solidarity, Constituent Power, and Non-Domination

The notion of solidarity is a key constitutional concept in EU law, but its exact meaning remains somewhat vague. What, if anything, is ‘constitutional’ about solidarity we may readily ask? It could be argued that solidarity is connected to the structure of EU law and linked to the very idea of trust, loyalty, and interdependence between the Member States. Moreover, solidarity appears to have many traits that are similar to the notions of fairness and justice, and values in the EU. In this article, I will trace and discuss the similarities between solidarity on the one hand and other constitutional concepts such as the idea of a ‘constituent power’ and non-domination on the other in order to further clarify their meaning and interdependence.
