New research publications from the SOC ACE project, ‘Negotiating with criminal groups: Colombia’s Total Peace Policy’ !!
Today sees the launch of a bumper crop of new publications from Felipe Botero, Mariana Botero, Lina Asprilla and Andrés Aponte of GI-TOC, Juanita Duran of Laboratorio de Justicia y Política Criminal, and Kyle Johnson of CORE; the research team behind the SOC ACE research project, ‘Negotiating with criminal groups: Colombia’s Total Peace Policy’. The two full research papers and accompanying briefing notes, available in both English and Spanish, explore the institutional architecture, and analyse the recent trajectory, of the ambitious and comprehensive Total Peace Policy, that aims to contain and reduce violence, encouraging armed and criminal actors to lay down their arms, reduce armed confrontation and lessen the impact of violence on communities and civilians.
The English and Spanish translations of the research papers and briefing notes, along with the two episodes of GI-TOC’s Deep Dive podcast covering the research’s findings, can be found on the SOC ACE project page linked above or directly through the publications pages linked below, where you can also find Spanish versions and other related SOC ACE research!
