Raúl Llasag Fernández (25th of December 1966), Kichwa Constitutionalist from Ecuador, professor and researcher in the Universidad Central del Ecuador (Central University of Ecuador), visiting professor in several universities. PhD in Sociology – Programa Pós-Colonialismos e Cidadania Global (Post-Colonialisms and Global Citizenship Program) by the Universidade de Coimbra – Portugal (University of Coimbra – Portugal), with a Master’s degree in Constitutional Law by the Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar- Ecuador (Simón Bolívar Andean University– Ecuador), Doctor in Law by the Universidad Central del Ecuador (Central University of Ecuador), son of the indigenous kichwa leaders, Esperanza Fernández e Eusébio Llasag.
His education began in daily life, in a permanent relationship with Nature’s elements. At the age of seven, his relation with the world of formal education and the Castilian language begins. Formal education which was until then denied to indigenous people. At the age of twelve he moves to the city of Latacunga – Cotopaxi, to begin his secondary studies. Once concluded, he couldn’t enter the university due to lack of economic resources. Therefore, he spends one year as a construction worker, during which he gets to know the reality of the rural immigrants into the city.
When he is 20 years old he enters the Universidad Central de Ecuador (Central University of Ecuador), where he studies Law and simultaneously joins, as a volunteer, the Law Department of the Centro Hospedaria Camponesa da Tola, in the city of Quito, a center that hosted indigenous people who immigrated temporarily into the city. In the process, he connects with several indigenous leaders from Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, Imbabura and Pichincha’s communities, and begins to support the former in the resolution of territory and water problems, internal conflicts and other problems faced by those communities. In this experience of communitarian conflicts, he understands that solutions cannot be merely based in law and the State’s institutionality. Hence, he increasingly becomes less of a lawyer (in a legalist sense) and he decides to apply what he learned as a young boy with his parents: to solve problems without resorting to the institutionality of the State. He, then, promotes the theme nowadays known as indigenous justice and internal autonomy of indigenous communities.
He later joins the Amazonian communities from the Napo, Orellana and Sucumbios’s provinces, being Director of the Law Department of the Organization of the Indigenous People of Pastaza (OPIP) between 1994 and 1996. In 1997 he is appointed coordinator of the CONAIE - Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador’s technical team responsible for the preparation of the proposal on new constitutional texts to the National Constituent Assembly of 1997-1998, in which for the first time the indigenous rights are acknowledged. From there on his work expands to the coast, with the Santa Elena, los Chachis and los T’sáchillas’ communities and the afro-descendants from the Comuna Santiago Cayapas in Esmeraldas.
He joins the public service and works in the legislative function; the Ministry of Justice, where he worked on the proposal for the rights of the communes and communities, indigenous people and nationalities, afro-ecuadorians and ‘montubios’ for the Constituent Assembly of 2007-2008, texts that were introduced in the 2008 Constitution; In the Electoral Litigation Court; in the Constitutional Court.
In 2009 he enters the academy as a lecturer, in the Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar – Ecuador (Simón Bolívar Andean University– Ecuador), on indigenous justice, cultural rights, plurinationality and interculturality. In 2010 he participates in the research project ‘Justiça indígena, Plurinacionalidade e Interculturalidade no Equador e Bolívia’ (‘Indigenous justice, Plurinationality and Interculturality in Ecuador and Bolivia’), coordinated by Boaventura Sousa Santos. Between 2011 and 2014 he works as a researcher in the ALICE project – Strange Mirrors, Unsuspected Lessons: Leading Europe to a new way of sharing the world experiences. In 2016 he joins the Universidad Central (Central University) as a titled//full**professor.
In 2018 he publishes the book ‘Constitucionalismo plurinacional desde los sumak kawsay y sus sabers. Plurinacionalidad desde abajo y plurinacionalidad desde arriba‘ (‘Plurinational Constitutionalism from the sumak kawsay and its knowledges. Plurinationality from below and plurinationality from above’) where he presents his proposal of a plurinationality from below. To conceive this proposal he invokes the Andean knowledges that were made invisible and localized. Based on such knowledges, he undertakes a deconstruction work on the modern western constitutionalism. He reclaims the history of the struggles, proposals and demands of indigenous collectivities, as well as the strategic use of institutions, such as the plurinational State and the Constituent Assembly. Finally, he reconstructs the proposal of plurinationality from below based upon Andean knowledges.
His lines of research are: plurinationality from below and plurinationality from above, indigenous justice, sumak kawsay, interculturality and plurinational constitutionalism. He worte several papers on these issues:
