Abstract

This article aims to analyse the concept and official strategies of Buen Vivir through the lens of the main ideological definitions adopted by the Marxist, psychoanalytic and cognitive traditions as a false conscience, mobilizing programme or hegemonic discourse and as a cognitive mechanism to reduce complexity, respectively. To that purpose, the official discourse of Buen Vivir, as expressed in the 2008 Constitution, the National Development Plans of 2009-2013 and 2013-2017, as well as in the interventions and declarations of Ecuadorian political authorities, will be compared against the orientation and results of public policy, which appears to lead to a developmental process based on an as of yet still unachieved diversification of the productive structure.
