En este libro se analizan los procesos y las tendencias de la participación política, en general, y social y comunitaria, en particular, en la implementación del Acuerdo Final de Paz (AFP) firmado entre el Estado colombiano y la guerrilla de las FARC-EP en el 2016. La escogencia de este tema de investigación obedeció a la importancia que le otorgó la Mesa de Conversaciones de la Habana a la participación activa de la sociedad en la terminación del conflicto y la construcción de una paz estable y duradera. La investigación tomó como casos ilustrativos los procesos de participación que acompañaron la implementación de los PDET, el PNIS y la Comisión de Diálogo entre el 2017 y e...

"El Catatumbo -etimológicamente, \'la casa de los truenos\'- es una subregión transfronteriza ubicada entre Colombia y Venezuela. Ha sido célebre de manera venturosa gracias a la inmortalización, realizada por las crónicas de los tiempos coloniales, de un fenómeno natural maravilloso de tormentas eléctricas denominado ""el relámpago del Catatumbo"". Los barí lo definieron como ""la concentración de millones de cocuyos"" (luciérnagas). Fiel a la referencia heredada de este singular paisaje, la cual no solo se revela desde la majestuosidad de la naturaleza, sino que ha sabido, con generosidad, dejar su impronta en la mentalidad de sus pobladores a través de una larga historia de luchas populares, el paro que retumbó desde el Catatumbo entre el 11 de junio y el 4 de agosto del 2013 es, en un caleidoscopio de expresiones desde abajo en tiempos recientes en Colombia, una apuesta por constituir, persistir y resistir, en la que se izan las banderas de la vida digna, las voces nativas de los sujetos y las energías inagotables de las vías plebeyas."
