InPeace and Rural Development in ColombiaAndrés García Trujillo investigates whether peace agreements geared towards terminating internal armed conflicts trigger rural distributive changes. Combining academic rigor with an insider's perspective, García Trujillo shows that the peace agreement in Colombia opened an exceptional window for addressing rural inequality. Yet, despite some progress, he argues that the agreement's leverage to stir change was severely constrained by opposing actors within and outside the government. García Trujillo later applies the framework developed for the Colombian case to explain key dynamics of other post-conflict societies that have dealt with agrarian issues under a transitional context, like El Salvador or South Africa. The original theoretical framework and empirically rich analysis makePeace and Rural Development in Colombiaan indispensable read to scholars and practitioners who wish to gain an understanding on the political economy of peace-making, policy change and rural development in Colombia and beyond. | Peace And Rural Development In Colombia by Andr García Trujillo, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
