State, Political Power and Criminality in Civil War
This book revisits and reframes the old, but active, debate on the relationship between criminality and civil war by bringing both the state and political power into the equation. It argues that the terms in which the debate is generally posed are still inadequate to address the complexities of this relationship, showing how criminalisation and de-criminalisation are deeply political and hotly contested processes. The shifting movements towards the separation -or convergence- between criminality and politics are part of the processes of constitution of both political power and state. The chapters in the volume flesh out the mechanisms and social dynamics through which this takes place. This edited volume will be of great interest to upper-level students, academics, and researchers in Politics, History and Criminology. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Political Power.
Las reformas agrarias del Frente Nacional
En este libro se presentan los resultados de investigación del Observatorio de tierras sobre la reforma agraria más importante del siglo XX en Colombia. El Frente Nacional (1958-1974) fue un acuerdo de cogobierno entre los dos grandes partidos de ese momento, el Liberal y el Conservador, que habían estado adelantando ‘una guerra civil no declarada’ durante el periodo inmediatamente anterior, conocido como La Violencia. Durante el Frente Nacional se aprobaron dos grandes leyes de reforma agraria: una en 1961 (Ley 135) y otra en 1968 (Ley 1). Entre los propósitos de la segunda estaba profundizar y desarrollar la primera. Finalmente, desde enero de 1972 a través del llamado Pacto de Ch...
En-trampa-miento a la participación en la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz en Colombia (2016-2021)
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...
La tierra prometida
Esta obra presenta el trabajo de investigación realizado durante cinco años por el equipo interdisciplinario del Observatorio de Restitución y Regulación de Derechos de Propiedad Agraria, el cual está conformado por unidades académicas de las universidades Nacional, Rosario, Norte, Sergio Arboleda y Sinú. Esta iniciativa financiada por Colciencias incluyó dentro de su agenda de investigación un seguimiento a la implementación de la política desde distintos enfoques metodológicos y disciplinarios. Los equipos de investigación recolectaron información en distintas zonas del país, principalmente en el Caribe colombiano, mediante entrevistas a víctimas del conflicto armado, empresarios, políticos, funcionarios públicos, jueces y magistrados de restitución de tierras e hicieron un seguimiento a las sentencias de restitución de tierras. Así mismo, con el fin de recoger un cuerpo sólido de evidencia, participaron también en intervenciones en instancias como la Corte Constitucional, para así presentar las sólidas conclusiones que se recogen en este libro.
Catatumbo resiste cincuenta y tres días de paro
"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."
Paying the Price of Freedom
Christine Hünefeldt documents in impressive, moving detail the striving and ingenuity, the hard-won triumphs and bitter defeats of slaves who sought liberation in nineteenth-century urban Peru. Drawing on judicial, ecclesiastical, and notarial records—including the testimony of the slaves themselves—she uncovers the various strategies slaves invented to gain their freedom. Hünefeldt pays particular attention to marriage relations and family life. Slaves used their family solidarity as a strategy, while slaveowners used the conflicts within families to prevent manumission. The author's focus on gender relations between slaveowners and slaves, as well as between slaves, is particularly o...
XLV Mexican Conference on Biomedical Engineering

Rule and Rupture
Rule and Rupture - State Formation Through the Production of Property and Citizenship examines the ways in which political authority is defined and created by the rights of community membership and access to resources. Combines the latest theory on property rights and citizenship with extensive fieldwork to provide a more complex, nuanced assessment of political states commonly viewed as “weak,” “fragile,” and “failed” Contains ten case studies taken from post-colonial settings around the world, including Cambodia, Nepal, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, and Bolivia Characterizes the results of societal ruptures into three types of outcomes for political power: reconstituted and consolidated, challenged, and fragmented Brings together exciting insights from a global group of scholars in the fields of political science, development studies, and geography
