Construir paz territorial.
Este libro busca aportar a la comprensión diferencial de algunas de las regiones más afectadas por el con icto armado. Aunque era evidente que el escenario posterior a la rma del acuerdo entre el Estado colombiano y las FARC-EP sería complejo, era imposible dimensionarlo en plenitud. Con la violencia arreciando cada vez más, la construcción de paz desde los territorios es el motor que sigue impulsando las re exiones plasmadas en estas páginas, en un contexto nacional en el que nos enfrentamos al principal desafío en nuestra historia reciente. Durante 2015 y 2016 el Instituto de Estudios Interculturales participó en una investigación para diseñar el modelo de operación territorial...

Contra o Racismo
Narrativas poderosasdescrevem as nações latino-americanas comofundamentalmente mestiças. Essas narrativasdificultaram o reconhecimento do racismona região, mas as recentes viradasmulticulturalistas aumentaram oreconhecimento das culturas e das identidades negras eindígenas. O multiculturalismo podefocar em questões de identidade evisibilidade e abordar formas despreocupadas de racismo,mas também pode desviar a atenção doracismo estrutural e da desigualdaderacializada e, assim, restringir iniciativas antirracistasmais amplas. Além disso, múltiplos entendimentos decomo o racismo e o antirracismo seinserem em projetos de transformação socialtornam o racismo uma questão complexa emultifacetada. Os sete ensaios de Contra oracismo investigam atores no Brasil, Colômbia,Equador e México que vão além da política dereconhecimento para abordar desigualdadesestruturais e construir um terreno comum comoutros grupos marginalizados. Asorganizações deste estudo defendem uma abordagem detransformação estrutural social quepromova alianças, seja inclusiva e inspiradapor uma imaginação radical.

The Politics of Food Provisioning in Colombia
This book explores food provisioning in Colombia by examining the role and impact of the agrarian negotiations which took place in the aftermath of the 2013–2014 national strikes. Most of the research in the field of agrarian studies in Colombia has focused on inequalities in land distribution, the impacts of violent conflict, and most recently, the first phase of the peace agreement implementation. This book links and complements these literatures by critically engaging with an original framework that uncovers the conflicts and politics of food provisioning: who produces what and where, and with what socio-economic effects. This analytical lens is used to explain the re-emergence of natio...
The Demand for Money
Almost half a century has elapsed since the demand for money began to attract widespread attention from economists and econometricians, and it has been a topic of ongoing controversy and research ever since. Interest in the topic stemmed from three principal sources. First of all, there was the matter of the internal dynamics of macroeco nomics, to which Harry Johnson drew attention in his 1971 Ely Lecture on "The Keynesian Revolution and the Monetarist Counter-Revolution," American Economic Review 61 (May 1971). The main lesson about money that had been drawn from the so-called "Keynesian Revolution" was - rightly or wrongly - that it didn't matter all that much. The inherited wisdom that u...
