El derecho al ocio y el nuevo paradigma constitucional ecuatoriano

Abstract

The adoption of the Constitution of Montecristi in 2008 brought several challenges for the adaptation of the institutional system to the experience of rights considered as “second category”. One of them, the Right to Leisure, could also be an important indicator of the quality of living for Ecuadorian citizens. This essay takes a quick historical view to the Right of Leisure in the Ecuadorian Constitutions and analyzes it to the light of the new Ecuadorian constitutional paradigm. For that, it takes four guidelines proposed by the new LatinAmerican constitutionalism theory.
