Peace and Rural Development in Colombia
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-54249-8 (ISBN)
In Peace and Rural Development in Colombia Andrés García Trujillo investigates whether peace agreements geared toward terminating internal armed conflicts trigger rural distributive changes.
Combining academic rigor with an insider’s perspective, García Trujillo shows that the peace agreement in Colombia opened an exceptional window for addressing rural inequality. Yet, despite some progress, he argues that the agreement’s leverage to stir change was severely constrained by opposing actors within and outside the government. García Trujillo later applies the framework developed for the Colombian case to explain key dynamics of other post-conflict societies that have dealt with agrarian issues under a transitional context, like El Salvador or South Africa.
The original theoretical framework and empirically rich analysis make Peace and Rural Development in Colombia an indispensable read for scholars and practitioners who wish to gain an understanding on the political economy of peacemaking, policy change, and rural development in Colombia and beyond.
Andrés García Trujillo is an associate at the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT) and a professor in the Economics Faculty of the Universidad Externado de Colombia. He served as adviser to the Colombian government in the peace talks with the FARC, mainly on rural development and implementation planning. He also worked at the Ministry of Agriculture in a program aimed at supporting family agriculture. He has over 14 years of academic and practitioner experience in development, conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and social policy. Andrés holds a BA in International Development Studies and International Political Economy from Trent University, an MA in Social Policy from Universidad Javeriana, and a PhD in Global Governance from the University of Waterloo, Canada.
