What does it mean to 'live well'? The contentious politics of vivir bien as alternative development
Vivir bien is widely used by academics, activists, and governments of the Latin American 'Pink Tide' to refer to alternatives to conventional economic development based on indigenous worldviews claimed to oppose capitalist modernity. Through ethnography of local politics within a Bolivian Quechua community, this article explores how the term has been vernacularized and contested among local leaders, illustrating that their understandings of devel…
Can states be decolonized? Indigenous peoples and radical constitutional reform in Bolivia
This article critically examines the project of transformative constitutionalism implemented by the Movement for Socialism (MAS) government which aims to decolonize Bolivian society through constructing a 'plurinational' state. Based on ethnography of the political institutions of a rural indigenous community and their interaction with this new state, it argues that programs of constitutional reform are limited in their capacity to address coloni…

Carers of veterans tend to put their own physical and psychological well-being needs behind the needs of the person they are caring for and often do not seek assistance for their own physical and psychological well-being. Combined, these factors lead to increased risk of acute and chronic illness and mental health issues.

Corrective Justice and Unjust Enrichment
An important theoretical account of private law explains it in terms of corrective justice. Ernest Weinrib in particular has argued that private law is the instantiation of a particular form of corrective justice; one which invests the Aristotelian notion with elements of Kant’s concept of right. The early battleground for Weinrib’s theory was tort law. A debate has also occurred in contract law, thanks in large part to the work of Peter Benson. …
