Radical well-being alternatives to development

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:The search for alternatives to destructive development and globalisation is yielding diverse approaches to well-being, some ancient (like buen vivir and sumak kawsay in Latin America, ubuntu in southern Africa, and swaraj in South Asia), some very new (like degrowth in Europe, and radical ecological democracy in South Asia). This workshop brought together a few such approaches, to learn from each other, and build common ground.
