“A Peace Carried away by the Wind”. Scope and Effects of ‘Territorial Peace’ in Colombia (2016-2022)

Summary, in English

Six years after signing the Peace Agreement between the FARC-EP and the Colombian government, the main rural transformations were delayed, while the violence figures show that peace had not materialized. Using an activist methodology, working in the Department of Cauca with rural communities, this article analyses three phases of the ‘territorial peace’ model: the local turn, characterized by the participatory and densely bureaucratic implementation of the Peace Agreement; the militarist turn, which replaced integral territorial development; and the new cycle of internal armed conflict, emphasizing the ethnic and racial dimension of violence. We conclude that peacebuilding has deviated from the roadmap to comprehensively address the structural causes of war, opting instead for militaristic securitization and stabilization, which generates the re-victimization and hopelessness of impoverished rural inhabitants, who are once again caught between new and recycled conflicts.
