Abstract
GARAY MONTANEZ, Nilda. COMMON GOODS AND WELL-BEING IN LATIN AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISM: FROM HISTORICAL EXCLUSIONS TO QUESTIONED INCLUSIONS. Prolegómenos [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.42, pp.135-159. ISSN 0121-182X. https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.3355.
This study aims to reflect on the ideas of common good and common goods from a constitutional perspective and, specifically, from Latin American constitutionalism. These ideas materialized in well-being, a category incorporated by the Ecuadorian Constitution of 2008 and the Bolivian Constitution of 2009. These constitutions include other subjectivities and other categories, some of which appear to come into conflict with the liberal ideology and individualism that sustain the traditional European constitutionalism that has been imported by westernized Latin American societies.
Keywords : Common goods; Eurocentrism; Latin American constitutionalism; sumak kawsay; suma qamaña; well-being.
