How much progress has Colombia made in terms of reconciliation after the agreement that ended the armed conflict between the state and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC)? What steps can be taken to promote peaceful coexistence based on social inclusion, the acknowledgment of differences, and institutional consolidation? Reconciliation: Experiences in Colombia and the World addresses these critical issues within contexts of transition from war to peace.
The book offers perspectives grounded in Colombia's experience, as well as insights from other countries. Some contributors analyze data from the USAID and ACDI/VOCA Reconciliation Barometer. All the authors aim to enhance our understanding of key themes, including the role of women in conflict and post-conflict settings, the relationship between peace and justice, and the connection between reconciliation and trust.
