Descripción
Sumario:This article aims to problematize the relationship between progress/ development x buen vivir in Latin America, especially from the conformation of the autochthonous postulates in the construction of a new juridical order, with the plurinational and ecocentric Constitutions of Ecuador and Bolivia. Therefore, it is intended to present brief considerations about the ideals of progress and its establishment in Latin America; the arisenment of an alternative ethical-philosophical basis, of indigenous origin, that entered the political arena until its consolidation as a regime of law and political project and; the discussion about the contradictions that this new project faces, notably for the maintenance of the neoliberal, development-related premises, that are translated into the extractive activity. It will use the analytical method. It is concluded that, in spite of the proclaimed advancement, in terms of an alternative civilizational project, the progressive assumptions of increasing domination of nature and man himself remain untouched and that the political and economic objectives of the Latin countries maintained their developmental basis, although under new justifications.
