FIGUERA VARGAS, Sorily Carolina  y  CUJILEMA QUINCHUELA, Katherine Carmen. The Sumak Kawsay from the perspective of the Ecuadorian legal system. Justicia [online]. 2018, n.33, pp.51-70. ISSN 0124-7441.  https://doi.org/10.17081/just.23.33.2882.

The Constitution of Ecuador of 2008 incorporated the meaning Sumak Kawsay or “Good Living” in its preamble and article 14, which represented a paradigm shift that incorporated and consolidated the ancestral vision in the Ecuadorian legal system for the achievement of sustainable development. This article will reflect on the Sumak Kawsay, its legislative regulation and what it intends to be its scope. Also, following a method of jurisprudential research, it will be established how the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, as interpreter of the Constitution, has interpreted the meaning of Sumak Kawsay.

Palabras clave : Good living; Constitutional Court of Ecuador; Ecuadorian legal system; and Sumak Kawsay..
