Twenty years after the introduction of the UN Guiding Principles for the Protection of Internally Displaced Persons, very little is known about their effectiveness in altering state behavior towards their displaced populations. In this book Gabriel Cardona-Fox takes a systematic and global first look at patterns of commitment and compliance with the IDP regime. Through the innovative use of statistical analysis on all documented cases of displacement and an in-depth case study of Colombia’s evolving response towards internal displacement, this book identifies the domestic and international forces that drive some states to institute and comply with these guidelines. Exile Within Borders fills an important gap in the literature and moves the debate over the regime’s effectiveness beyond anecdotal evidence.
How researchers used Missional Action Research to make a real difference for displaced persons in Colombia Christian scholars are often motivated to live the gospel by serving the vulnerable. But how do we put our academic research to practical use to help those in need? Christopher M. Hays explains how his interdisciplinary team of theologians, social scientists, pastors, and local partners combined efforts to support internally displaced persons of Colombia. Over eight million people have been driven from their homes by violence perpetrated by paramilitary and guerilla groups in the past two decades. The Colombian government is unequipped to deal with the sheer magnitude of the crisis. To ...
Indicators and rankings are widely used by governments and organisations to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and success of policy decisions. This book evaluates the creation of indicators, their impact on policy decisions, and the implications of their use.
A rich interdisciplinary study of the diversity and dynamics of the migrations of displaced peoples across the Global South By the end of 2022, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide had reached a record high of 100 million, the highest figure since the Second World War. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Taliban political takeover in Afghanistan exacerbated an already protracted global refugee situation, but climate-related events also played a part in forcing millions of people to leave their homes in search of more habitable living areas. Making Routes: Mobility and Politics of Migrant in the Global South provides fresh understandings of mobility flows, transnational linka...

Esta obra recoge la suma de cuatro ensayos inéditos, de corte investigativo, en la que se abordan una serie de experiencias de lo que podríamos denominar “La oscura historia de la infancia” en nuestro país, comprendida entre 1968 y 2006, temas que por lo general, los investigadores sociales prefieren evitar. Estos cuatro ensayos han sido elaborados a lo largo de los últimos años, indagando una serie de fuentes que la investigadora argentina, Graciela Frigeiro, denominó como los archivos del mal. En primer lugar, se da a conocer, “El cuerpo infantil, guardián de la verdad. Una mirada al maltratado infantil en Colombia”; en segundo lugar, “Una descripción desde la experiencia...
A treinta años de la Constitución de 1991, surge la necesidad de repensar la carta política en sus términos originales: un acuerdo de paz entre diversos actores de la sociedad. Con la terminación del conflicto armado y la implementación del acuerdo firmado en 2016, se da a su vez la discusión acerca de cómo se ha puesto en práctica la Constitución, en qué contexto histórico y político se elaboró y cómo ha contribuido a la construcción de paz. Se conectan, de esa manera, dos fenómenos de vital importancia: la protección de los derechos fundamentales y el fin del conflicto, entendiendo la paz como un derecho consagrado en la Constitución.

Inhaltsangabe:Problemstellung: „Die Vereinigten Autodefensas Kolumbiens gibt es nicht mehr.“ Mit diesen Worten kündigte Luis Carlos Restrepo, Hochkommissar für den Frieden der kolumbianischen Regierung, am 17. April 2006 das vorläufige Ende des Demobilisierungsprozesses der größten paramilitärischen Gruppierung, der „Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia“ (AUC) an. Nach einem zögerlichen Beginn hatte die Demobilisierung des Paramilitärs zu Beginn des Jahres 2006 eine Eigendynamik erreicht, die alle Erwartungen übertraf. Das Büro des Hochkommissars zog im Juni 2006 folgende Bilanz: statt der erwarteten 20.000, hatten sich 30.151 Personen demobilisiert und dabei 17.000 Waffen abgeg...
