Abstract

Good living emerges from indigenous peoples in Andean countries as a way of thinking about their ways of life and decolonial forms of development, especially in Ecuador and Bolivia. However, the ethnic diversity, cosmological origin, and history of this concept mean that it is not simple to understand its relationship with the idea of modern development. Thus, I seek to understand the creation and dissemination process of Good Living, which is adapted and reinterpreted based on the cooperation processes between different indigenous peoples. Through qualitative analysis, I show how Good Living is created from indigenous criticism of the idea of sustainable development, develops from a Quechumara cosmology, influences the creation of plurinational constitutions and is disseminated both by Andean governments and other peoples of the region, assuming different connotations that may even be controversial among themselves.
