The article analyzes how approaches to “Living Well” as reflected in the Constitution of the
State of Bolivia, the Law of the Rights of Mother Earth, and the American Declaration on the Rights
of Indigenous Peoples of the Organization of American States (OAS) contribute to understanding
the Andean cosmovision of indigenous peoples of the American continent. To do so, it first studied
the most immediate precedents that led to incorporation of the notion of Living Well into Bolivian
law. Second, it approached the right to development from the American Declaration on the Rights
of Indigenous Peoples, which has as its source the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples. The paper thus proposes reflections on the Bolivian State and the American
Declaration that advance understanding of Living Well, a notion comparable in the West to the right
to development (political, social, economic, environmental, and cultural) that enables the individual
and collective realization of the individual. Fullness, understood in terms of well-being, is related to
the protection of health and of the environment. Finally, the paper employs a qualitative methodology
with a well-documented hermeneutic focus, as well as the tool of a semi-structured interview with a
Bolivian scholar familiar on the topic.
