AHUMADA, Consuelo. Implementing the Peace Agreement in Colombia: between "territorial peace" and land disputes. Prob. Des [online]. 2020, vol.51, n.200, pp.25-47.  Epub Sep 09, 2020. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2020.200.69502.

The signing of the Final Agreement between the Colombian National Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) on November 24, 2016, created many expectations. However, key advances that were achieved during the subsequent months gave way to a period of stagnation and even actual backsliding in its implementation. This paper analyzes the difficulties of fulfilling the Final Agreement, in particular as concerns its first point regarding Comprehensive Rural Reform (CRR). The analysis is based on the argument that if the Agreement was focused on generating the conditions necessary to end armed conflict and reestablish democratic conditions in the country, it also contains structural factors which infringe upon the consolidation of peace.

Keywords : Peace Agreement; armed conflict; land disputes; neoliberalism; FARC.
