Decolonial peace, Colombian conflict, Reconstruction of relationsAbstract
The article aims to examine the extent to which the power relations that exist in the dynamics of conflict transformation, imposed by the colonizing presence of the Global North and its models, affect the quality of peace that has been created in the case of Colombia. Therefore, we seek to understand the possible links between the current social upheavals and the armed conflict that has lasted for more than fifty years, waged by leftist insurgent groups, paramilitaries, and the armed forces of the state itself. To do this, it looks at the period between 2017 and 2021, beginning with the signing of the peace agreement and ending with the social crisis that the country is experiencing in the present. The paper is divided into three major sections. The first will be dedicated to the Colombian conflict, from its historical past to the last peace process that ended with the agreement between the government and the group FARC-EP. In a second moment we will try to approach the theoretical debate, developing a path from the intersection between peace studies and decolonial productions. Finally, the last point will deal with the current violent events in Colombia and consider their links with the country's past through the theoretical prism developed in the previous topic.
