Reconciliation Experiences in Colombia and the world

HOW MUCH PROGRESS has Colombia made in terms of reconciliation after the agreement that put an end to the armed conflict between the state and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC)? What can be done to promote peaceful coexistence based on social inclusion, the acknowledgment of difference, and institutional consolidation? Reconciliation. Experiences in Colombia and the World addresses these issues in contexts of transition from war to peace. The book contributes perspectives based on the Colombian experience as well as on the experiences of other countries. Some of its contributors analyze the usaid and ACDI/VOCA Reconciliation Barometer data. All the authors seek to contribute to our understanding of the role of women in conflict and beyond, the relationship between peace and justice, and the nexus between reconciliation and trust.
