Theory and practice of two alternative development concepts. Growth versus quality of life

Více o knize

Exploring two distinct development concepts from Ecuador and Bhutan, this academic paper analyzes "Buen Vivir" and "Gross National Happiness." It emphasizes their cultural contexts and social positions, focusing on environmental consciousness, social equality, and holistic well-being. Through a comparative analysis, the author identifies key elements of each concept, evaluates their implementation strategies, and discusses their successes and challenges. Ultimately, the paper aims to assess the potential and limitations of these alternative development frameworks.
