Los preámbulos son introducciones cortas que manifiestan, en términos generales, el propósito y contexto de una constitución. Su contenido presenta una gran variedad de temas que reflejan el momento histórico y la ideología que dio origen al marco legal de un país. En este artículo utilizamos el análisis crítico del discurso para examinar los preámbulos de las constituciones de Bolivia y Ecuador y planteamos que ambos son ejemplos claros de pensamiento decolonial. Nos hemos centrado en tres aspectos del pensamiento decolonial: biocentrismo, plurinacionalismo y visibilidad del género social. Este artículo también muestra que la traducción inglesa de estos preámbulos falla en transmitir su propuesta epistemológica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2019, the Constitutional Court issued two sentences that, in a nutshell, legally make equal marriage in Ecuador or of same-sex persons legally viable. These sentences were sent to the Court through the procedure of consultation of norm, in accordance with article 428 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador in order that the maximum constitutional justice court of the country exercise the concrete control of constitutionality, with regarding legal provisions that concern civil marriage and Advisory Opinion 24 of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights of November 24, 2017, requested by the Republic of Costa Rica regarding gender identity, and equality and non-discrimination Same-sex couples. The objective of this paper is to criticize the argumentative construction of the Court in these opinions, by demonstrating that said body arrived at inconsistent conclusions based on incorrect premises. For this purpose, the methodology used is hypothetical-deductive, in the light of the argumentative criticism that has been mentioned. The work is composed of the following lines of analysis: First, the denaturation of the concrete control of constitutionality. Second, the interpretation made to the applicable normative statements. Third, about the legal value of the advisory opinions of the Inter-American Court. Finally, some conclusions that will pay for the academic debate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the concept of "Harmonious Coexistence" (Buen Vivir in Spanish or Sumak Kawsay in Kichwa) embodied in the new Constitution of Ecuador, as it envelops the process of building counter hegemony. Therefore, the concept as it develops within the Constitution is analyzed from the economic, social, cultural and environmental perspectives. Thenceforth the main queries regarding the implications of the concept of "living well" for the economic system are presented as they were argued by the opposition in the National Constitutional Assembly. This allows us to analyze this approach to the process of building counter hegemony and the profound dimensions of "living well" in the construction of a new epistemology and the radical process of change.

The validity of the new Constitution and election of new state authorities should lead to the definitive closure of a long period of political instability in Ecuador. The strong support received by President Correa during his administration and his reelection in the first round could be interpreted as positive signs for achieving those goals. However, three aspects appear to be obstacles to the full establishment of a new order able to ensure good governance and stability, in a context where progress has been made as to popular representation and participation. First, the permanence of negative aspects of institutional design that were not made part of the constitutional reform. Second, hegemonic leadership by the President which serves as an obstacle to the institutionalization of the process. Third, the notion of the process as a revolution, which encourages polarization and feeds a game of absolute winners and losers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the scope of citizen participation in the new constitutional project in Ecuador. This work draws comparisons between the 2008 project of constitution and the 1998 Constitution within the parameters of a discussion about political regime crisis. It argues that the 2008 project upholds and builds upon the promises of participation included in the 1998 Constitution. The author questions the relationship between civil society, political regimes and the State in a context of state-strengthening, weak social actors and a government indifferent to participation.
