The concept of buen vivir (good living) has attracted interest far beyond its source in the Andean ethnic tradition. It is being debated internationally as a contribution to development theory and has become the fundamental purpose of Ecuador's policy since the adoption of the new constitution in 2008. There are, however, deep contradictions between the constitutional prescriptions and spirit of buen vivir and recently formulated policies that reveal a pragmatic approach on the part of the government. These contradictions suggest that, far from being a strategic orientation for effective policy making, buen vivir serves as a new ideology and is being used to support a reform plan based on a quite traditional understanding of the concept of development. El concepto de "buen vivir" ha despertado interés más allá de su origen en la tradición étnica andina. Su contribución a la teoría del desarrollo es parte del debate internacional y también se ha convertido en el objetivo fundamental de la política pública del Ecuador desde que se adoptó la nueva constitución en 2008. Hay, sin embargo, profundas contradicciones entre las prescripciones constitucionales y el espíritu del buen vivir y algunas políticas formuladas recientemente que revelan un enfoque pragmático de parte del gobierno. Estas contradicciones sugieren que, lejos de ser una orientación estratégica para la formulación de políticas más eficaces, el buen vivir sirve como una nueva ideología y está siendo usado para apoyar un plan de reforma basado en una interpretación bastante tradicional del concepto de desarrollo
