Sobre la base de esta normativa y bajo el esquema de Galtung de diseñar un tratamiento para la situación de conflicto y violencia, la obra presenta una propuesta de acuerdo humanitario que, además de pretender resolver el problema de secuestro, busca la humanización del conflicto armado colombiano y atender el desoído llamado de tantos secuestrados, muchos de ellos con más de una década sin libertad.

Cross-border bank lending is a growing source of external finance in developing countries and could play a key role for infrastructure financing. This paper looks at the role of multilateral development banks (MDBs) on the terms of syndicated loan deals, focusing on loan pricing.

Overall, our findings suggest that MDBs could crowd in private investment in developing countries through risk mitigation.
