Andean neoconstitutionalism. A comparative study of Ecuador's and Bolivia's Constitutions of 2008 and 2009, respectively, in light of Convention 169 and the United Nations …

Abstract:

Ecuador's Constitution of 2008 recognizes the rights of nature and the rights of indigenous people who benefit from its natural resources, to further sumak kawsay or buen vivir (well-being or "good life") within the framework of people's right to self-determination. On the other hand, the Bolivian Constitution of 2009 considers "native indigenous campesinos" as a collective of the plurinational nation and suma qamana as the transversal axis of its new Constitution. This research seeks to compare the constitutional texts of both countries by means of ten variables and with reference to Convention 169 concerning indigenous and tribal peoples in independent countries, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
