Contra la indiferencia: un llamado para la participación civil en el posconflicto en Colombia

Translated title of the contribution: Against Indifference. A Call for Civil Engagement in Postconflict in Colombia

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

The peace accord of 2016 was received with substantial indifference by a large part of the Colombian population. This article suggests that indifference relates to fractures in Colombian Society. Four theses against indifference are put forward: (i) the limitations of the peace accord do not eliminate its potential for change; (ii) pressure from the civil society and the public can hold those in power accountable for the realisation of the peace accord; (iii) the civil society and the public can appropriate the peace process and influence peacebuilding; (iv) peacebuilding is the opportunity not only to build peace, but to newly shape a more diverse, inclusive, democratic, dignifying and environmentally-conscious Colombia.
