Full textAbstract:
This article builds upon the scholarship of Alina Helg and other historians working on questions of racial identity in Colombia, and the Caribbean section of that country more specifically. Colombia is unique in that its identity is indigenous, African, as well as European. Its Afro-Colombian elements are often overlooked by virtue of the mestizo identity that has dominated settlement of its Andean highlands around the capital, Bogota. Using technical and social reports from tourism development on Barù Island, near Cartagena, this article explores the Afro-Colombian communities that established themselves on the island in the wake of emancipation in the mid-19th century, as well as the efforts of these communities to protect their rights. I also examine recent Constitutional Court decisions supporting the rights of Afro-Colombian communities like those on Barù against the developmental ambitions of governmental and private tourism developers who were intent on transforming the island into a mass tourism destination. The article concludes that recent legal shifts towards protecting Afro-Colombian rights secured a recent victory in favor of the islanders vis-à-vis designs of the state to impose its vision of global tourism development there.

This article aims at sharing the preliminary literature review of the main developments related to Intersectional Identities in Colombian English Language Teaching and general educational contexts worldwide. First, I trace the research work concerning the topic at both national and international levels through a bibliometric analysis in Scopus to see the main developments regarding intersectionality from a decolonial perspective. Then, I show through a complementary bibliometric study, 50 articles that were collected from different databases, and the trends found as representation of intersectional studies. The analysis indicates two core trends: (1) Intersectional studies in general educational contexts and (2) Intersectional studies in ELT contexts. Finally, I present how this profiling research study shows that the topic of Intersectional Identities in Colombia seems scarce within the field of ELT.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the extent to which four factors—acculturation, ethnic identity, self-esteem, and resilience—can explain the well-being of Colombian immigrants in the United States across three waves of immigration (wave 1, from 1945–1964; wave 2, from 1965–1989; and wave 3, from 1990–2008). The results indicate that of the four factors, self-esteem most correlated with and was a predictor of well-being. Participants exhibited high levels of well-being as their level of self-esteem increased. Ethnic identity negatively predicted well-being, especially for men who entered during wave 3; as the extent of their ethnic identity increased, their well-being decreased. Correspondingly, Colombians who entered as political refugees reported a lower level of well-being. This research was groundbreaking in assessing factors contributing to the well-being of Colombian immigrants and assisting in the search for appropriate scales to study this population. Although its results have to be considered with caution, the study opens doors to future research, policies, and programs regarding the mental health assessment and treatment of Colombians in the United States.

ResumenEste artículo es producto de una investigación realizada en la región de Bojayá, Chocó (Colombia) durante los años 2016 y 2017. A partir de una serie de entrevistas y notas de campo, se presenta una lectura psicoanalítica de los efectos psíquicos y sociales de uno de los acontecimientos más violentos del conflicto armado colombiano. La reflexión sobre los hallazgos empíricos se estructura en torno a tres temáticas: la conceptualización psicoanalítica del trauma como un Real imposible de representar; la configuración de la identidad de víctima en esta región, antes olvidada, como una forma de inscribirse en el Otro; y las invenciones propuestas por los sujetos-víctimas para bordear lo imposible de decir que habita el trauma.Palabras clave: víctimas, trauma; psicoanálisis lacaniano, conflicto armado colombiano, masacre de Bojayá.AbstractThis paper is the result of a research carried out in the region of Bojayá, Chocó (Colombia) during the years 2016 and 2017. From a series of interviews and a field diary, it presents a psychoanalytic reading of the social and psychic effects of one of the most violent events of the Colombian armed conflict. The reflexion on the empirical findings is structured around three topics: the psychoanalytic conception of trauma as a Real impossible to represent; the configuration of the victim identity in this region, formerly forgotten, as a form of being inscribed in the Other; and the interventions proposed by the subjects-victims to approach the impossible to say that inhabits the trauma.Keywords: victims, trauma, Lacanian psychoanalysis, Colombian armed conflict, massacre of Bojayá.RésuméCet article est issu d'une recherche menée dans la région de Bojayá, Chocó (Colombie) entre 2016 et 2017.

Full textAbstract:
This research aimed to understand the process adult Colombian adoptees raised in the United States of America go through to define themselves in the context of race and ethnicity. The research followed a qualitative narrative methodology, in which six participants were interviewed twice regarding their experiences with transracial and transnational adoption and their ethnic and racial identity process. The results suggest that identity is a dynamic process. Our research also confirms Colombian’s history of unethical adoptions and its influence on the complexity of identity and loss of adult Colombian adoptees. Throughout the article, the researchers use the term biological family referring to Colombian birth families. However, we acknowledge that other terms (i.e., first, natural, original, etc.) are also used in the adoptee community.

This article presents partial results of research exploring links between language teacher identity and queer identity in English language teachers working in Colombia. Three gay male teachers participated in a narrative research project framed within a poststructural perspective on identity. I conducted and recorded semi-structured interviews with the participants and then carried out a thematic analysis of these interviews which led to the emergence of three main themes. Here, I present the most prevalent theme, that of being a gay language teacher in the Colombian context which reveals that the participants all live their queer identity alongside their language teacher identity with ease although they do recount instances of homophobia which have impacted their day-to-day lives and their careers.

Full textAbstract:
Though a nation of discordant regionalism and historically weak central institutions, Colombia can paradoxically claim strong currents of popular national identity. It is well known that long centuries of relative economic isolation, coupled with Colombia's largely subsistence internal economy and torturous topography, provided few opportunities to integrate the nation's different regions. Such conditions resulted in fractured regional identities and racial compositions. What few links to the world market Colombia enjoyed before the late nineteenth century came from the mining of gold, with short episodes of tobacco and quinine exportation. Only in the 1880s and later did coffee production finally reorient the nation's economy and introduce new questions of land tenure and social relations. Colombia's fiercely partisan political system evolved during the nineteenth century, therefore, when the country was still overwhelmingly rural, inward-looking, and little more than a collection of semi-autonomous regions. Keith Christie noted that before the 1950s, regionalism was so strong that “Bogotá was essentially just another provincial capital.” As a consequence, the national army in the nineteenth century seldom proved more powerful than the many rebel armies it faced. Indeed, according to the basic Weberian definition of the “state” as the entity that controls a monopoly on the legitimate use of force, and evidenced by the fact that the national government still does not control large portions of the country's territory, Colombia's central state structures continue to be glaringly weak at the end of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
The genetic origins and diversity of Creole sheep from five regions of Colombia were investigated based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations across 89 sequences from five breeds: one wool Creole sheep (CL) and four hair Creole sheep, including Ethiopian (OPCE), Sudan (OPCS), Pelibuey (OPCP) and Wayúu (OPCW). A global comparison was done using 62 haplotypes from Iberian, African, Indian, Caribbean, Mexican, Caucasian and European sheep based on sequences retrieved from GenBank. This study aimed to identify the maternal origin of Colombian Creole sheep and their genetic relationships at a global level. The results showed 31 different haplotypes from Colombian Creole sheep, which can be assigned to maternal lineage B, the most common lineage found in European sheep breeds and the only one found in several Iberian breed (e.g., Churra, Spanish Merino) that most likely participated in the Creole formation. Additional analyses showed that wool and hair sheep retained a broad genetic identity despite being geographically separated. The global-level phylogenetic analysis revealed that Colombian Creole sheep belong to a distinct and defined genetic lineage that is likely the result of a founder effect with ecotypes of Iberian descent and the subsequent introduction of foreign breeds. This is consistent with historical reports on the presence of sheep in South America and, particularly, Colombia.

Devis, Esteban. "The construction of identity and community - performing ethnicity : who are the Colombian-Lebanese?" Thesis, University of Southampton, 2014. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/366613/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Colombian-Lebanese community in Bogota, and specifically the identities of a particular group of Colombian-Lebanese. I explore the role of ethnicity in the construction of their identities, through the concepts of space, performance and community. The Colombian-Lebanese community has a particular position within Bogota society as part of Bogota’s elite. This privileged position means the Colombian-Lebanese community is a confident group that does not have to endure the negative aspects of ethnic labelling that other less privileged communities may have to sustain. Most of the Colombian-Lebanese participants in this study have been successfully upwardly socially mobile whilst keeping a connection with their ethnic community. At the same time, less upwardly mobile descendants of Lebanese immigrants are more likely to completely assimilate into Colombian society, or if they are recent Muslim immigrants, maintain their religious identity but their ethnic identity is likely to gradually dilute. By adopting an ethnographic approach, with an emphasis on interviews and participant observation, I focus on the Colombian-Lebanese organisations that work within this ethnic community, including a social club, a Maronite parish, a charitable organisation, and a cultural association. I analyse a number of activities and events organised by the Colombian-Lebanese, observing the locations where these take place, their participation in the events, as well as how identity is performed within them. There have been few studies of the Colombian-Lebanese in Colombia, most of those focussing on the history of migration and settlement. This thesis aims to address this by adding a contemporary view of the Colombian-Lebanese in Bogota. Moreover, it contributes to the growing literature on migrant communities investigating whether upward mobility is compatible with ethnic identification. I argue that social status is as important to Colombian-Lebanese identity as ethnicity, and that the two combine in order to belong to the organisations that work within the community. The social positioning of the Colombian-Lebanese in Bogota’s society positively influences their relationship with their ethnic identity, which they can choose deliberately when and where to perform.

According to statistical data provided by the UN Refugee Agency, in 2013 there were about 16.7 million refugees around the world. The countries of South America together have a less number of refugees than other countries of Middlle East and Asia. Among the countries in South America, Brazil is the most required country by refugees, mainly South American refugees, due to its admissions policy, that has facilitated their entry access. The refuge request in Brazil was facilitated after the approval of the Law Number 9.474 / 97, which defines implementation mechanisms of the refugees statute created in 1951. However, this law does not set questions about their social insertion in Brazil, causing social problems upon the arrival of these groups in some place. View of this situation, this study aimed to conduct a psychosocial reading of the inserting process of Colombian refugee families in Manaus. It is a qualitative research with an exploratory and descriptive character, using semi-structured interviews with members of four families that requested refuge between January2013 and September2014,residents in Manaus, and was used the content analysis according to Bardin (2011). In this research it was used as a theoretical support the theory of social identity Tjafel and cultural identity Hall.The results showed that the refugees come from the cities of Cúcuta, Caicedonia and Villavicencio and that all of them requested refuge because of threats suffered, insecurity and violence that exists in their hometowns. The refugees claim two basic reasons to choose Brazil, which were safety and the existence of acquaintances. As for the choice of Manaus were the reasons: existence of aquaintances in the city and the nature. About the facilitation process of social insertion of other refugees in the city of Manaus, all families assigned to the reception as the main factor to help in the social integration. The aspects that made life easier for refugees in Brazil, could be listed three answers: the study of children, the reception and work. On the other hand, making life more difficult were the language, marital problems, work and housing. The understanding of refuge for the families was diverse, like be a homeless, come hidden, have facilitated access and have rights. Regarding the Colombian identity, all expressed the pride of being Colombian, but without specifying what characteristics determine its identity. On the Brazilian identity, all respondents designated the Brazilian as an individual of positive procedures, having one of respondents said they would like to be Brazilian. It was presented in this research the deconstruction of the concept of the refugees as the ones that left their country to occupy lower -skilled jobs in Manaus, since they already held such jobs in Colombia. It is concluded that the development of public policies is necessary in order to protect the rights of these groups, invisible to Manauara society. Finally, it lifted up the need for more research on the subject, given the scarcity of existing investigations.
Conforme dados estatísticos disponibilizados pelo Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para Refugiados (ACNUR), em 2013 existiam cerca de 16,7 milhões de refugiados espalhados pelo mundo. Os países da América do sul somam uma população de refugiados bem inferior a outros países do Oriente médio e da Ásia. Dentre os países da América do Sul, o Brasil é um país muito procurado pelos refugiados devido à sua política de acolhimento, principalmente pelos refugiados da América Latina que tem o acesso de entrada facilitado. A solicitação de refúgio no Brasil foi facilitada após a homologação da Lei nº 9.474/97, que define mecanismos de implementação do Estatuto dos refugiados, criado em 1951. Todavia essa lei não estabelece questões a respeito da inserção social desse grupo em território brasileiro, o que causa problemas sociais quando de sua chegada em algum lugar. Diante disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo geral realizar uma leitura psicossocial do processo de inserção das famílias de refugiados colombianos em Manaus. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter exploratório-descritiva, com uso de entrevista semiestruturada com integrantes de quatro famílias que pediram refúgio entre janeiro de 2013 e setembro de 2014, residentes em Manaus, com análise de conteúdo segundo Bardin (2011). Nesta pesquisa utilizou-se como lente teórica de suporte a teoria da identidade social de Tjafel e a identidade cultural de Hall. Os resultados demonstram que os refugiados participantes vêm das cidades de Cúcuta, Caicedonia e Villavicêncio e que todos solicitaram refúgio devido às ameaças sofridas ou pela insegurança e violência existente nas suas cidades de origem. A escolha do Brasil para o pedido de refúgio teve dois motivos básicos: a segurança e a existência de conhecidos. Quanto à escolha de Manaus, os motivos foram à existência de conhecidos na cidade e a natureza. Quanto à facilitação do processo de inserção social dos refugiados na cidade de Manaus, todas as famílias atribuíram ao acolhimento o principal fator para o auxílio na inserção social. Dos aspectos que tornavam a vida dos refugiados mais fácil no Brasil foram elencados: o estudo dos filhos, o acolhimento recebido e trabalho. Em contrapartida, o que tornava a vida mais difícil foram o idioma, problemas conjugais, trabalho e moradia. O entendimento de refugiado para as famílias foi diversificado, sendo citados: ser um sem teto, vir escondido, ter acesso facilitado e ter direitos. A respeito da identidade colombiana, todos expressaram o orgulho de ser colombiano, mas sem especificar quais as características que determinam essa identidade. Sobre a identidade brasileira, todos os entrevistados designaram o brasileiro como um indivíduo de procedimentos positivos, tendo inclusive um dos entrevistados dito que gostaria de ser brasileiro. Apresentou-se ainda nesta pesquisa a desconstrução do conceito de que o refugiado sai de seu país para ocupar empregos de menor qualificação em Manaus, visto que eles já ocupavam esses empregos na Colômbia. Conclui-se que se faz necessária a elaboração de políticas públicas a fim de resguardar os direitos desse grupo, invisível à sociedade manauara. Por fim exaltou-se a necessidade de maiores pesquisas a respeito da temática, visto a escassez de trabalhos existentes.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is aimed at analyzing how ethnic hierarchies question the environmentalization of indigeneity, which is the foundation of the Colombian state's multicultural policy. In particular, the dissertation develops a comparative ethnographic approach to the way in which the "multicultural turn" of 1991 impacted three indigenous communities located at San José del Guaviare, a colonization frontier in the Colombian Amazon: the Nükak, the Jiw and the Tucano. Against the assumption of multicultural policy that indigenous communities form a vast mass of people radically diferent from mainstream (even portrayed as anti-modern), in San José there is an unequal distribution of the Nükak, Jiw and Tucano in different positions inside local ethnic hierarchies. For some, Nükak incarnate what Hale (2004) label as a "good ethnicity", that serves to promote Guaviare as an eco-touristic destination, the Jiw are a "bad ethnicity" that annoys White people in San José, while the Tucano are portrayed as "civilized Indians". Thus, the dissertation states how these ethnic hierarchies contradict some of the core assumptions of multicultural policies that are based on an essentialized understanding of indigenous peoples as "ecologically noble savages." The dissertation argues that the analysis of contemporary experiences on indigeneity in an Amazonian context such as San José, could be better understood if it observes a set of processes and actors including: the historical transformation of senses on otherness, the production of forests as a field of domain under state regulations, the economic crossroads affecting indigenous peoples on their "resguardos" (indigenous lands) and the intervention of state laws, NGOs, indigenous political organizations, settlers, foreign governments and state officials. The analysis of such a variety of processes and actors shaping contemporary experiences on indigeneity in the Colombian Amazon follows the environmentality approach (Agrawal, 2005). From that perspective, I discuss the following ideas: a) indigenous resguardos were designed as governmentalized localities in multicultural policy to regulate and control how indigenous peoples manage natural resources; b) those communities portrayed as followers of the ecological nobility script act as regulatory communities; c) the technologies for governing the ecological realm do not necessarily assure the formation of environmental subjectivities.

Full textAbstract:
La recherche se propose d'étudier des représentations cinématographiques de l'Indien et du monde indien en Colombie, depuis les origines en 1929-1930 et jusqu'à l'époque contemporaine. Elle identifie, répertorie, décrit et analyse une série d'éléments constitutifs des rapports que cette production cinématographique entretient avec les réalités sociales, culturelles ou ethnoculturelles de l'histoire colombienne, et, en particulier, avec le phénomène d'invisibilisation de l'Indien. Elle établit une périodisation en trois temps de l'histoire de cette production cinématographique en Colombie : 1] Période initiale ou de « découverte » de l'Indien et du monde indien par le cinéma colombien [1929-1964] ; 2] Période de redécouverte cinématographique de l'Indien [1968- 1980] ; 3] Période d'appropriation du cinéma et de l'audiovisuel par les cultures indiennes [1980-aujourd'hui]. La première est définie pour l'essentiel par les films d'évangélisation et de « civilisation », qui participent à la reproduction d'un imaginaire national excluant toute référence positive aux cultures indiennes ; la deuxième est caractérisée par la diversification des regards sur le monde indien, et, notamment, par l'utilisation du cinéma comme langage critique des formes de domination politique, économique, sociale et culturelle sur le monde indien ; la troisième est marquée par l'arrivée d'un nouveau support technique [la vidéo], l'auto-appropriation de son image par l'Indien et l'apparition de nouvelles pratiques cinématographiques en lien avec l'appropriation du cinéma et de la vidéo par les cultures indiennesThis dissertation proposes to study cinematographic representations of the Indian and the Indian world in Colombia since the origins in 1929-1930 until the contemporary era. It identifies, classifies, describes and analyses a series of constituent elements of the relations that cinematographic production holds with social, cultural or ethno-cultural realities of the Colombian history and, in particular, with the phenomenon of the invisibilization of the Indian. It establishes three stages of the history of that cinematographic production in Colombia: 1] Initial period or “discovery” period of the Indian and the Indian world by the Colombian cinema [1929-1964] 2] Period of cinematographic rediscovery of the Indian [1968-1980] 3] Appropriation period of the cinema and the audiovisual by Indian cultures [1980-today]. The first period is defined essentially by films of evangelization and that of the “civilization”, which participates in the reproduction of a national imagery while excluding all positive reference to Indian cultures; the second is characterized by the diversification of the perspectives on the Indian world and notably, by the utilization of cinema as a critical language of political, economical, social and cultural forms of domination on the Indian world; the third is marked by the coming of a new technical support [the video], the auto-appropriation of their image by Indians and the apparition of new cinematographic practices in relation with the appropriation of cinema and video by the Indian cultures

Dye, Michaelanne M. "La Vida Online: The Parallel Public Sphere of Facebook as Used by Colombian Immigrant Women in Atlanta." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2011. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/anthro_theses/52.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how Colombian women within the city of Atlanta utilize Facebook as a parallel public sphere, a cultural phenomenon through which the silenced use mediums of popular culture to discuss private and public dilemmas (Dewey 2009). Through ethnographic research in Atlanta, I analyze how these young women use Facebook as they negotiate their identity through the multiple contexts of their everyday lives. Drawing from feminist critiques, I explore whether Facebook provides an alternative to the traditional public sphere, while also investigating how power structures influence freedom of expression online. Through an international network of friends, these women tackle topics of discrimination, personal struggles, and individual accomplishments. By addressing pertinent issues, such as immigration reform policies, through a public forum, Colombian women become activists in order to disseminate information and educate others. This study explores the parallel public sphere, as well as its possible implications for diasporic communities, by examining the power of social connections and the performance of public personas through an arena not bounded by physical space.

Full textAbstract:
This research is concerned with how in/security is understood and the implications of contested meanings of in/security. The basic premise of this thesis is that in/security in itself has no meaning and thus cannot exist in isolation. Instead, in/security is always defined in relation to something or someone. How we understand in/security derives from the contexts we navigate and the identities we construct. An inquiry into in/security therefore demands incorporating a multiplicity of narratives and discussing these in relation to each other. While scholars have called for a greater emphasis on exploring in/security in marginal sites, I argue that accounts from the margins must not be at the exclusion of other more dominant narratives. Such analysis â placing the elite/margin, included/excluded, powerful/weak â in the same framework in order to produce a relational account of in/security is largely missing. This thesis sets out to provide a rich and detailed understanding of the everyday complexities of in/security. I propose a framework for capturing relational and contextual dimensions of in/security, and the implication of contested meanings of in/security understandings. Through an in-depth case study in the context of the transitions towards a post-conflict period in Colombia, following five decades of armed conflict, I inquired into in/security understandings at the margins in relation to the centre. The margins were represented by conflict-affected communities whereas the centre was represented by the Colombian government and key security sector institutions. The research found several relational dimensions of in/security understandings between the state- and the marginalized community-levels. Moreover, contextual and identity factors had a significant impact on how in/security was spoken about and what was spoken of. Through the framework, it was possible to see in continuum the way deeply ingrained understandings of in/security reproduce violence as the government seeks to transition the country into a post-conflict period following five decades of armed conflict. The research, through a detailed empirical case study, supports the view that in/security is relational and derivative of context and with ties to identity. It contributes to further our understandings of in/security at three distinct levels. At the theoretical level, the research builds upon existing literature in the field of security studies to advance an enhanced understanding of the relational and contextual dimensions of in/security, the contested meanings of in/security and the implications thereof. Methodologically, it proposes an alternative framework to capture the relational dimensions through shifting the problem formulation from a traditional focus on who is to be secured from what threats to how in/security is understood by different people/communities in different contexts. Empirically, it contributes to an off-centred understanding of in/security dynamics in the official transitions into the post-conflict period in Colombia. Through its empirical evidence it has the potential to offer an important contribution to the analysis of post-conflict transitions more generally.

Cette thèse doctorale explore la construction de l'identité culturelle colombienne telle qu’elle est représentée à travers la littérature contemporaine. Elle est divisée en trois chapitres principaux. Le premier chapitre propose une analyse littéraire approfondie de quatre œuvres contemporaines colombiennes majeures, en mettant l'accent sur la manière dont elles abordent des aspects fondamentaux de l'identité culturelle colombienne, notamment la famille, la religion et la violence. Ces éléments sont examinés comme des piliers essentiels dans la réflexion sur l’identité nationale. Le deuxième chapitre se concentre sur l’évolution du marché littéraire en Colombie, comparant sa dynamique avec la réception et l’impact de la littérature colombienne en France, ce qui met en évidence les échanges interculturels entre les deux pays. Le troisième chapitre analyse la place de l’identité culturelle dans l’éducation et en examine les figures récurrentes présentes dans les musées colombiens, en discutant la manière dont ces symboles enrichissent le discours plus large sur l’identité nationaleThis doctoral thesis explores the construction of Colombian cultural identity as depicted through contemporary literature. It is structured into three key chapters. The first chapter provides an in-depth literary analysis of four major contemporary Colombian works, focusing on how they address core aspects of Colombian cultural identity, specifically family, religion, and violence. These elements are examined as fundamental pillars in the reflection of national identity. The second chapter transitions to the study of the literary market in Colombia, comparing its evolution with the reception and impact of Colombian literature in France, and thus highlighting intercultural exchanges. The third chapter focuses on the influence of cultural identity in education and analyzes recurring cultural identity figures found in Colombian museums, discussing how these symbols contribute to the broader discourse on national identity

Full textAbstract:
RESUME en français : La confrontation armée en Colombie se distingue par sa durée, son intensité et sa complexité. L’un des acteurs principaux de cet affrontement est la guérilla des FARC. Leur étude, à partir de la théorie de la reconnaissance d’Axel Honneth, permet de prendre en compte le rôle des besoins de reconnaissance, exprimés par ce groupe et ses membres, dans le développement du conflit. En effet, la violence guérillera plonge ses racines dans des dénis de reconnaissance dans les sphères de l’affection (maltraitance infantile, violence intrafamiliale, exactions des groupes armés), du droit (privation de droits-exclusion) et de la solidarité (indignité-injustice). Les aspects de la lutte pour la reconnaissance, menée par ce mouvement, ont évolué dans le temps, en fonction des interactions avec d’autres acteurs comme le gouvernement colombien et des variables comme le narcotrafic, passant d’une lutte pour l’obtention de la dignité et de l’égalité, à une lutte pour le prestige et l’affirmation d’identités idéaliséesThe armed confrontation in Colombia is characterized by its duration, intensity and complexity. FARC is one of the main actors of this war. The study of the Colombian guerrilla from the perspective of Axel Honneth's theory, the struggle for recognition, allows us to take into account the role of recognition needs, as expressed by this group and his members, in the conflict evolution. Guerrilla violence plunges its roots into denials of recognition in the spheres of love (ill-treatment of children, domestic violence, exactions by armed groups), of rights (denial of rights, exclusion) and solidarity (denigration, insult). The FARC’s struggle for recognition gradually change over time depending on new variables, like drug trafficking, and the interactions with other actors (government, civil populations, etc.) passing from a struggle for dignity and equality to a struggle for status and the assertion of idealized identities

Full textAbstract:
En 2013, la mairie de Bogota crée des centres d'art proposant un enseignement gratuit de musique andine pour les jeunes. Deux ans plus tard, la ville de Santa Marta finance des écoles de musique similaires où est enseigné le vallenato. Ces musiques se présentent comme des éléments structurants des identités régionales et nationale. En effet, à partir du XIXème siècle, la musique andine est au cœur des débats portant sur la définition de l'identité musicale nationale. Après des années d'intense diffusion, elle subit à partir des années 1960 un lent déclin. Aujourd'hui, sa festivalisation est intimement liée aux processus de patrimonialisation dont elle fait l'objet. Par ailleurs, le vallenato est choisi par une élite locale dans les années 1960 pour incarner l'identité régionale du département du Cesar, récemment créé. Cette musique jouit actuellement d'un succès international, mais le vallenato dit classique est inscrit en 2015 sur la liste du patrimoine immatériel nécessitant une sauvegarde urgente de l'UNESCO. Ces musiques sont au cœur de discours à forte charge affective et symbolique : leur transmission incarne la défense de lo propio, de « ce qui est à nous ». En outre, dans les écoles de musique de Bogota et de Santa Marta, les modalités de transmission de ces musiques se détachent des préceptes académiques. La structuration didactique amène à penser cet héritage académique, ainsi que les conditions du choix d'un répertoire standardisé et la production finale, les concerts. Portés par les pouvoirs municipaux, les enjeux politiques prennent parfois le pas sur les enjeux pédagogiques. Aussi ces écoles invitent-elles à penser d'une manière plus large les politiques publiques, la vie politique et les réseaux qui les mettent en œuvre. L'enjeu de cette thèse est de mieux comprendre les processus de politisation de cet enseignement. Le travail de terrain a été mené dans des écoles de musique, auprès de personnels administratifs, de professeurs et d'élèves de ces dernières. Face à la globalisation et aux industries musicales, dont certains de ces interlocuteurs craignent qu'elles ne soient totalisantes, la transmission des musiques locales est vécue comme une prise de position politisée. En parallèle, les pouvoirs publics municipaux font des usages différenciés de ces écoles. En effet, ces dernières donnent chair aux discours contemporains autour de la paix qui agitent la société nationale dans sa gestion du « post-conflit », mais aussi autour de l'égalité et du respect de la diversité musicale dans un pays qui s'affiche comme multiculturel. Pour autant, ces écoles sont aussi associées à des pratiques clientélaires et représentent un puissant outil au service d'enjeux électoraux. C'est finalement au cœur de la politisation de l'enseignement des « musiques traditionnelles » de Colombie que nous plonge cette thèseIn 2013, Bogota City Council created art centers offering free Andean music education for young people. Two years later, the city of Santa Marta finances similar music schools where Vallenato is taught. These musics acts as structuring elements of regional and national identities. Indeed, Andean music is at the heart of debates since the nineteenth century about the definition of national musical identity. After years of intense diffusion, it suffered a slow decline from the 1960s on. Today, its celebration is intimately linked to the heritage process of which it is the object. In addition, Vallenato was chosen by a local elite in the 1960s to embody the regional identity of the newly created Cesar Department. This music currently enjoys international success, but the so called classic vallenato is inscribed in 2015 on the list of intangible heritage in need of urgent safeguarding by UNESCO. These musics are at the heart of discourses with strong emotional and symbolic charge: their transmission embodies the defense of the propio, of "what is ours". Moreover, in the music schools of Bogotá and Santa Marta, the transmission modalities of these musics stand out from the academic precepts. The didactic structuring leads to think this academic heritage, as well as the conditions of the choice of a standardized repertoire and the final production, the concerts. Supported by municipal authorities, political issues sometimes take precedence over pedagogical issues. These schools invite us to think more broadly about public policies, political life and the networks that implement them. The challenge of this thesis is to better understand the process of politicization of this teaching. The field work was conducted in music schools, with administrative staff, teachers and students. Faced with globalization and the music industries, some of whom are afraid that they are totalizing, the transmission of local music is experienced as a politicized stance. In parallel, the municipal public authorities make differentiated uses of these schools. Indeed, the latter give flesh to contemporary discourses around peace that agitate the national society in its management of the "post-conflict", but also around equality and respect for musical diversity in a country that appears as multicultural. However, these schools are also at the heart of customer practices and represent a powerful tool for electoral issues. It is ultimately at the heart of the politicization of the teaching of "traditional music" of Colombia that we plunge this thesis
En el 2013, la alcaldía de Bogotá creó centros de arte que proponen clases gratuitas de música andina para los jóvenes. Dos años después, la ciudad de Santa Marta financia escuelas de música similares donde se enseña el vallenato. Estas músicas se presentan como elementos estructuradores de las identidades regionales y nacional. De hecho, la música andina estuvo en el centro de los debates a partir del siglo XIX sobre la definición de la identidad musical nacional. Después de años de intensa difusión, se comenzó a declinar lentamente a partir de la década de 1960. Hoy en día, su festivalización está estrechamente ligada a los procesos patrimonialización a los que está sometida. Por otro lado, el vallenato fue elegido por una élite local en los años 1960 para encarnar la identidad regional del recién creado deparamento del Cesar. Esta música se beneficia actualmente de un éxito internacional, pero el llamado vallenato clásico se inscribe en el 2015 en la Lista del patrimonio cultural inmaterial que requiere medidas urgentes de salvaguardia de la UNESCO. Estas músicas están en el corazón de discursos que llevan una fuerte carga emocional y simbólica: su transmisión encarna la defensa de lo propio, de "lo nuestro". Además, en las escuelas de música de Bogotá y Santa Marta, las modalidades de transmisión de estas músicas son diferentes a los preceptos académicos. La estructura didáctica nos lleva a reflexionar sobre la herencia académica, así como sobre las condiciones para la elección de un repertorio estandarizado y la producción final, los conciertos. Las cuestiones políticas, llevadas por las autoridades municipales, a veces tienen prioridad sobre la apuesta pedagógica. Por lo tanto, estas escuelas nos invitan a pensar ampliamente la vida política, las políticas públicas y las redes que las implementan. El objetivo de esta tesis es de entender los procesos de politización de esta enseñanza. El trabajo de campo se llevó a cabo en escuelas de música, con personal administrativo, profesores y alumnos de estas últimas. Frente a la globalización y a las industrias musicales, que algunos de estos interlocutores temen que puedan ser totalizantes, la transmisión de estas músicas locales se vive como una posición politizada. Al mismo tiempo, las autoridades públicas municipales hacen diferentes usos de estas escuelas. De hecho, estas últimas alimentan los discursos contemporáneos en torno a la paz que sacuden a la sociedad nacional en su gestión del "posconflicto", pero también en torno a la igualdad y el respeto de la diversidad musical en un país que se proclama multicultural. Sin embargo, estas escuelas también están en el centro de las prácticas clientelistas y representan una herramienta poderosa al servicio de los intereses electorales. Es finalmente en el corazón de la politización de la enseñanza de la "música tradicional" en Colombia en la que nos sumerge esta tesis

Full textAbstract:
AbstractStarting in 1973, healthcare reforms took place in 20 Latin American countries, as a result of state modernisation and the influence of international organisations. At the same period, the World Bank had become the major healthcare reform advocate in the region, pushing for neoliberal models in line with the Washington Consensus (WC) paradigm. Under these circumstances, Colombia undertook a major change to its system, and existing scholarship suggests that healthcare reform in the country was a product of international influences. This chapter analyses the impact of the principles defined by the WC on the 1993 Colombian healthcare reform. We examine national healthcare legislation to identify how the “neoliberal health model” proposed by the WC translated into the language and measures subsequently adopted in Colombia.

AbstractThe Colombian Pacific region is one of the most biodiverse areas in the world; however, it is severely threatened by anthropogenic pressures. In addition, armed conflict and poverty are compounding factors causing the loss of biodiversity and cultural identity. In response to this situation, the Wounaan-Nonam original people of Puerto Pizario and Santa Rosa de Guayacán declared five Indigenous Protected Areas (IPA) in 2008. We conducted a study to highlight the link between the conservation of biocultural memory and contributions to human well-being, particularly to human health, in indigenous socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS). Since 2013, the research-action-participation methodology has been applied to recover ecological traditional knowledge on how ancestors managed nature and elements associated with their cosmovision. Following the TNC conservation of areas methodology, eight biological and cultural conservation values were identified for the IPAs and 5-year management plans for conservation were formulated. As a result of this process, we created a tool that involves traditional knowledge to administer the total 1850 hectares covered by the five IPAs. We also found that the main challenges faced by indigenous communities in the management of IPAs as an integral part of the indigenous SEPLS are associated with weak organisational and governance processes. Additionally, we identified the main opportunities ecosystem services offer in the IPAs, which enhance the quality of life and health of the original peoples and ecosystems at a regional level. Finally, the making of handicrafts is identified as an opportunity in these SELPS, as it represents an alternative for generating income through sustainable productive chains in biotrade strategies.

AbstractThis article presents the synthesis of the research on the clothing practices that are trending in the Z generation or centennials in Colombia, and that communicate with the largest audience represented in likes and downloads and views in the social network TikTok.The problematic is given by the questions: how are the most relevant trends and identities of young centennials shaped? How are their clothing practices?This research is qualitative and interpretative, a semiotic perspective was taken to identify tangible or intangible objects that reveal how identities and trends are shaped, as well as their narrative.In this sense and under the theory of Susan B. Kaiser on identity and the theory of symbolic self-completion of Wicklund and Gollwitzer.This study analyzed how dressing is an element of self-completion of identity and diffusion of the trend, in this sense, identity is mediated by the interaction that makes an effect that replaces the face-to-face look, so the result or effect of this helps to shape or confirm the aesthetics of identity, reception, revealing the vulnerability, conflict, and influence of this generation of nomadic identity.

The Caribbean region in Colombia has large land areas and low connectivity between urban centers, the study proposed a methodology of analysis of 10 major cities to validate a regional project called “Diamante Caribe-Santanderes”. The methodology was structured from 4 hubs and 11 indicators of urban analysis that was applied to each of the urban centers. From the mapping results of an image analysis of the various aspects of urban reality was obtained. This study was able to identify trends and potential of the territory and is accomplished propose a new political and administrative structure that integrates large unconnected areas. It also qualifies intervention projects in different scales for each local center, inter between municipal centers, and finally large territorial unions to consolidate a regional identity. The most important of the study is to propose within the categories of analysis systematic search of polyvalent interactions develop joint responses to the needs of communities at the same time elements of conservation measures and restoration of ecosystem dynamics of the environment. Finally, the study shows that under current legislation it is possible to create this new territorial entity, with cultural identity and articulated planning parameters under new regional organization of urban centers.

Full textAbstract:
The ideas of the Spanish-Colombian academic Jesus Martín-Barbero concerning cultural mediations and the night map will be the primary focus of this discussion as the central theoretical framework for comprehending how young people create meaning in the media, particularly worldwide animated films. Even though the theoretical framework was formed within the setting of Latin America, the notions developed by Martín-Barbero are flexible enough to be applied to any media situation. This academic discourse is enhanced by the notions of hybrid culture proposed by Néstor Garcia Canclini. These ideas provide additional foundation for the concepts and theories that are discussed in this work. Within the context of multicultural Aotearoa New Zealand, the theoretical framework was tested with young people attending English-medium schools, formerly known as mainstream schools. Participants ranged in age from six to twelve years old, and there were boys and girls from multiple ethnic origins participating. The data collection took place over the course of three years and used, among different methodologies, work groups (resembling focus groups), online surveys, and interviews. The discussion with the children aimed to discuss sixteen different Disney and Pixar films and their respective twenty-four main characters. The purpose of the conversation was to understand where children feel the characters might have come from and why they have such ideas about those characters, films’ tales, and their places. The research also focused on what characters children and young people would identify the most and the reason behind this decision. According to the research findings, one of the factors that support children in comprehending their surroundings is the cultural context of their household and how the schools they attend provide conversations around the topic of cultural identity. This research aims to show how it is possible to enhance cultural awareness in young people in a fun and light way. A diverse media setting can lead young people to demonstrate more sensitivity to the similarities and differences between two or more cultures and use this in effective communication with members of other cultural groups.

The conceptual framework of literacy and statistical education is reviewed in a non-probabilistic sample is observed, the study population is students and teachers in Colombia. To determine the independence between the variables of the study, Chi2 p-value<0.06 is used, the results are segmented into basic and secondary, rural or urban, Educational Institutions (E. I.), by gender and age. Likewise, a portion of the sample is trained with a logistic regression model to identify the pattern of literate students who are currently using statistics and students who will not continue to study statistics after high school. This will provide clues about the early literacy strategies that can increase the use of statistics in the daily and professional life of Colombians.

In Seminario Internacional de Investigación en Urbanismo. Bogotá: Universidad Piloto de Colombia, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.5821/siiu.10104.
Full textAbstract:
In Colombia, the phenomenon of forced displacement from the territory of origin by ethnic minorities and inhabitants of rural areas is macroscopic; pressure by armed and economic actors, abandonment by institutional entities induces them to find refuge in no man's land. In the anonymity and informality of the extreme margins of large cities, this vulnerable population builds a primary refuge and seeks life opportunities on land without infrastructure or public services (DANE, 2015; UN_Habitat, 2016; UNHCR, 2019).
In these slums there are precarious health conditions, low temperatures associated with cold winds, which generate different pathologies in their occupants. The settlement typology, based on terraces and vertical slopes, constitutes a further factor of seismic vulnerability and due to mass removal.
The Tocaimita Oriental settlement (2900 m.a.s.l.) shows a complex reality of lucid awareness and determination, of community cohesion where the aims of having a “decent” home underlie the legalization of the settlements and their individual and group recognition.
Forced displacement is necessary and always painful (Hannigan, O'Donnell, & O'Keeffe, 2016). In the last three decades, 36.2% of the Colombian population has left their identity territory for the largest cities in the country; in Bogotá alone there are approximately 1,393,140 people who live in the extreme urban periphery, in full illegality (UNHCR, 2017). The sad dream of this form of freedom implies leaving threats behind and satisfying needs that the very fact of staying alive demands (Shedlin, Decena, & Noboa H. & Betancourt, 2014). This is an extreme exercise of self-determination that entails abandonment, escape from conditions of hunger, pain, fear, need (Türk, 2017) in the face of death threats and extreme poverty (Centro Nacional de Memoria Histórica, 2015); the need to exist, the possibility of being able to decide in a constrained framework implies the loss of the social support base (Bobada, 2010), social, physical and economic vulnerability.
Resettlement represents a new beginning with the expectation of finding housing, employment, health, education, public services (Braubach, 2011) however, the displaced, left to themselves, in turn abandon institutional rules; count on their own means and found extremely precarious illegal settlements waiting for institutional responses. Bogotá is chosen as a destination because it presents multidimensional poverty levels that are clearly lower than the rest of the country (DANE, 2017) and provides greater opportunities even in informality. En Colombia es macroscópico el fenómeno del desplazamiento forzoso del territorio de origen por parte de minorías étnicas y habitantes de áreas rurales; presiones por actores armados y económicos, abandono por las entidades institucionales los induce a encontrar refugio en tierras de nadie. En el anonimato y la informalidad de los márgenes extremos de grandes ciudades, esta población vulnerada construye un refugio primario y busca oportunidades de vida en terrenos sin infraestructuras ni servicios públicos (DANE, 2015; UN_Habitat, 2016; UNHCR, 2019).
En estos tugurios se viven precarias condiciones de salud, bajas temperaturas asociadas a vientos fríos, lo que genera diferentes patologías en sus ocupantes. La tipología de asentamiento, a partir de terrazas y taludes verticales, constituye un ulterior factor de vulnerabilidad sísmica y por remoción de masa.
El asentamiento de Tocaimita Oriental (2900 m.s.n.m.) muestra una realidad compleja de lúcida consciencia y determinación, de cohesión comunitaria donde los fines de tener una vivienda “digna” subyacen a la legalización de los asentamientos y su reconocimiento individual y grupal.
El desplazamiento forzoso es necesario y siempre doloroso (Hannigan, O’Donnell, & O’Keeffe, 2016). En las tres últimas décadas el 36.2% de la población colombiana ha abandonado su territorio identitario hacia las mayores ciudades del país; en la sola Bogotá son aproximadamente 1.393.140 las personas que viven en la extrema periferia urbana, en plena ilegalidad (UNHCR, 2017). El sueño triste de esta forma de libertad implica dejar a sus espaldas amenazas y satisfacer necesidades que demanda el mismo hecho de mantenerse vivos (Shedlin, Decena, & Noboa H. y Betancourt, 2014). Es este un ejercicio extremo de libre determinación que conlleva el abandono, el escape de condiciones de hambre, dolor, miedo, necesidad (Türk, 2017) frente a amenazas de muerte y pobreza extrema (Centro Nacional de Memoria Histórica, 2015); la necesidad de existir, la posibilidad de poder decidir en un marco de constricción implica la pérdida de la base social de apoyo (Bobada, 2010), vulnerabilidad social, física y económica.
El reasentamiento representa un nuevo inicio con la expectativa de encontrar vivienda, empleo, salud, educación, servicios públicos (Braubach, 2011) sin embargo, los desplazados, abandonados a sí mismos, abandonan a su vez las reglas institucionales; contar en sus propios medios y fundan asentamientos ilegales extremadamente precarios esperando respuestas institucionales. Bogotá es elegida como destino por presentar niveles de pobreza multidimensional netamente inferiores al resto del país (DANE, 2017) y proporciona mayores oportunidades aun en la informalidad.

Mentoring programs in higher education have gained importance in recent years for their contribution to the development of professional and personal skills, as well as improving student retention and completion. Considering this, the program Generation E, –created by the Colombian Ministry of Education to provide socioeconomic support to underprivileged youth for their access to higher education–, started to include mentoring strategies in 2019 as a key element to foster completion. In 2020, a development model was designed to assess the situation of these programs in higher education institutions across the country. This article describes an analytic tool –called DIADEMMA (Diagnosis of Mentoring Moments Development)– which articulates five development moments with six factors key to any mentoring program, drawing on a structure proposed by an existing model for the assessment of higher education programs for student retention in Colombia. The first implementation of DIADEMMA allowed to identify the status of peer-mentoring initiatives in an initial group of institutions, providing input to define actions to support their consolidation, considering the nature and possibilities of each one of them.

Full textAbstract:
This evaluation examines the IDB's Country Program with Colombia for the 2007-2011 period. The evaluation found social investment and decentralization as two areas in which the IDB maintained presence and relevance during this period. In social investment, the IDB was consolidated as a stable partner to Colombia in the creation and operation of a long-term social safety net. In regards to decentralization, cooperation was crosscutting, as the IDB worked with subnational institutions in diverse sectors, such as transportation, business development, housing, and modernization of the State. The IDB also continued its long-term work with Colombia to modernize and improve the efficiency of oversight agencies and the judicial branch, helping the country to obtain sizeable savings. To continue to improve the strategy with Colombia, OVE recommends that the IDB should: (i) increase its efforts to lower the transaction costs of IDB's cooperation with the country; (ii) improve the evaluability, monitoring and evaluation of the Country Strategy and the projects financed by the IDB; (iii) identify and strengthen the IDB's capacity in the areas and sectors in which the country will concentrate its demand for financial cooperation; and (iv) identify international development experiences that have been successful and present them to Colombia.

Neves, Mateus C. R., Felipe De Figueiredo Silva, and Carlos Otávio Freitas. The Effect of Extension Services and Credit on Agricultural Production in Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia. Inter-American Development Bank, July 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003404.
Full textAbstract:
In this paper we estimate the average treatment effect from access to extension services and credit on agricultural production in selected Andean countries (Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia). More specifically, we want to identify the effect of accessibility, here represented as travel time to the nearest area with 1,500 or more inhabitants per square kilometer or at least 50,000 inhabitants, on the likelihood of accessing extension and credit. To estimate the treatment effect and identify the effect of accessibility on these variables, we use data from the Colombian and Bolivian Agricultural Censuses of 2013 and 2014, respectively; a national agricultural survey from 2017 for Peru; and geographic information on travel time. We find that the average treatment effect for extension is higher compared to that of credit for farms in Bolivia and Peru, and lower for Colombia. The average treatment effects of extension and credit for Peruvian farms are $2,387.45 and $3,583.42 respectively. The average treatment effect for extension and credit are $941.92 and $668.69, respectively, while in Colombia are $1,365.98 and $1,192.51, respectively. We also find that accessibility and the likelihood of accessing these services are nonlinearly related. Results indicate that higher likelihood is associated with lower travel time, especially in the analysis of credit.

Full textAbstract:
After building up foreign currency-denominated (FC) liabilities over several years, the balance sheets of Colombian firms might be particularly vulnerable to a shift in external conditions. This paper undertakes four exercises in order to get a better understanding of these vulnerabilities. First, probit/logit estimations are used to identify the firm-level and macroeconomic determinants of FC borrowing by non-financial corporations. Second, the implications of the balance sheet vulnerability for real activity are investigated. Evidence is found of an FC balance sheet effect that transmits exchange rate fluctuations to firm-level investment, and show that that this effect is asymmetric, much greater for depreciations than for appreciations. Third, using logit/probit estimations, it is shown that not all firms use forward exchange derivatives solely to hedge their FC liabilities. This might be a consequence of exchange rate intervention by the monetary authority, protecting against extreme exchange rate misalignments. Finally, results are reported of a survey-based qualitative analysis on the hedging policies and activities of 12 large non-financial firms.

Full textAbstract:
Between 2014 and 2020 over 1.8 million refugees fled from Venezuela to Colombia as a result of a humanitarian crisis, many of them without a regular migratory status. We study the short- to medium-term labor market impacts in Colombia of the Permiso Temporal de Permanencia program, the largest migratory amnesty program offered to undocumented migrants in a developing country in modern history. The program granted regular migratory status and work permits to nearly half a million undocumented Venezuelan migrants in Colombia in August 2018. To identify the effects of the program, we match confidential administrative data on the location of undocumented migrants with department-monthly data from household surveys and compare labor outcomes in departments that were granted different average time windows to register for the amnesty online, before and after the program roll-out. We are only able to distinguish negative albeit negligible effects of the program on the formal employment of Colombian workers. These effects are predominantly concentrated in highly educated and in female workers.

Full textAbstract:
En este trabajo introducimos una metodología de generación de alertas de potenciales prácticas anticompetitivas en el mercado mayorista de electricidad colombiano. La metodología se compone de dos partes: (1) Con base en la disponibilidad declarada de los agentes, se identi can aquellos que potencialmente pueden tener un impacto alto en el precio de bolsa (i.e., pivotales en el sentido del índice de oferta residual - IOR) y (2) Usando métodos de aprendizaje de máquinas se identifi can las ofertas de energía (i.e., precios) de aquellos agentes pivotales que, de acuerdo al estado del mercado y su historia (i.e., oferta pasadas, recursos hídricos, tecnología de generación, etc.) se podrían considerar atípicos o anómalos. Con base en estos dos indicadores se generan alertas de potenciales prácticas anticompetitivas. Reportamos los resultados de la aplicación de esta metodología al mercado mayorista colombiano en el periodo de agosto 16, 2018 a julio 30, 2019. Una característica importante de esta metodología es que puede ser aplicada con la información disponible del operador del sistema, 24 horas antes de que se observen los resultados del mercado y generando alertas ex-ante a la realización de los eventos. Esta posibilidad de generar alertas casi en tiempo real es aun más importante de cara al nuevo mercado intradiario que próximamente entrará en rigor en el sistema eléctrico colombiano.

Full textAbstract:
This paper revisits economic growth in Colombia using a growth diagnostics methodology to identify the most binding constraints for economic growth and the policies that, if implemented, can have the largest positive impact. The data shows economic reactivation in areas with falling violence. Results from analysis at the microeconomic level, however, give a particular spin to this conclusion by showing that investment decisions at the firm level are also explained by the restoration of some form of public order connected to the cessation of paramilitary violence. From a public policy perspective, perhaps the most relevant result is the confirmation that in Colombia, investment decisions are negatively affected by the cost of financing. Empirical results single out the provision of access to financing at fair prices as a policy priority for economic growth, independent of whether uncertainties from poor protection to property rights are resolved.

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to determine the impact on female labor outcomes of the amendment to the Colombian labor law that extended maternity leave from 12 to 14 weeks (Law 1468 of July 2011). To identify this impact, labor market outcomes of two groups of women with different fertility rates are compared. The study finds evidence that as a result of the extension of the maternity leave period, women in the high-fertility age group experience an increase in inactivity rates, informality, and self-employment. The study points to the need for a redesign of maternity protection policy that would enable the economic and social costs of bearing children to be shared by both parents and that may generate social change regarding the importance of paternal care.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction of mandatory health insurance in developing countries is often questioned because of the difficulties in enrolling self-employed workers, who represent a segment of the labor force that is increasing in size. Partial population coverage, coupled with adverse selection effects, raises serious concerns about the financial viability of social health insurance schemes. Despite these difficulties, an increasing number of developing countries have implemented social health insurance schemes with the aim of attaining universal health coverage and improving access to health services. In Colombia, major health sector reform was launched in 1993 with the extension of mandatory social health insurance as its cornerstone. In this paper, we assess the impact that Colombia¿s health sector reform had on the enrollment of self-employed workers in the social health insurance scheme. We use two national-level Living Standards Measurement Surveys conducted in Colombia in 1997 and 2003, respectively, and find that health insurance enrollment rates among the self-employed increased considerably between the two time periods, although evidence of adverse selection observed in 1997 continued to be present in 2003. We identify several factors that may explain the change in these enrollment patterns, and we discuss measures to combat adverse selection.

Full textAbstract:
Creative industries are considered highly innovative and productive, constituting an important driver of economic change. For high-income countries, several studies discuss the positive spillovers of creative industries for the local economy, for instance by attracting creative workers, which can benet entrepreneurs and workers in other industries. Like many other activities, creative industries are likely to dier in low- and middle-income countries compared to high-income countries. Moreover, the existing evidence is based on correlations between variables likely to be endogenous. This paper contributes to the literature on the role of creative industries in driving economic change in two main ways. First, we make a rst attempt to control for endogeneity and identify the impact of creative industries on local economies. Second, we report evidence for a middle-income country. Using granular employment data, we study the agglomeration patterns of creative industries across Colombian cities between 2008 and 2017. Exploiting the co-location of creative industries with other industries, we estimate the relation between employment growth in creative and non-creative industries in the same city. Using a shift-share instrumental variable approach, we estimate the multiplier eect of employment growth in creative industries on the employment growth in the rest of the economy. Creative industries represented between 2.7 and 3.3 percent of Colombian employment in 2008 and 2017. We nd that creative industries agglomerate mainly in three large cities (Bogota, Medelln, and Cartagena) and in a few smaller cities. Such agglomeration is positively related to an increase in the employment of non-creative services industries. For a positive causal relation to materialize, creative industries should have a larger size or be more connected to other economic sectors. However, after controlling for endogeneity, we nd no signicant impact of an increase of creative industries employment on employment growth in other industries.

Vega-Araújo, José, Miquel Muñoz Cabré, Yismary Ramirez, and Reinaldo Lerma. Enabling factors of social acceptance of wind energy projects in La Guajira. Stockholm Environment Institute, January 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.51414/sei2024.001.
Full textAbstract:
In Colombia, increasing renewable energy generation requires a special emphasis on the department of La Guajira due to its world-class wind resources. According to the Mining-Energy Planning Unit (UPME), La Guajira is projected to have up to 45 wind farms by 2034, most located within the collective territory of the Wayuu Indigenous people. The authors of this report identify enabling factors of social acceptance of wind energy projects in this context and, more broadly, of a just energy transition in La Guajira. The findings represent insights gained from activities conducted during 2023, namely a workshop held by SEI and the University of La Guajira in the municipality of Uribia, La Guajira, with members of the Wayuu people and representatives of the municipal public sector. The research also included extensive fieldwork in communities surrounding wind farm locations and associated infrastructure, such as transmission lines, and a total of 45 semi-structured interviews with various relevant stakeholders, including developers, academia, civil society and the national and regional public sector. This report opens with the relevant context, including facets of the Colombian electricity sector, La Guajira department and the right to free, prior and informed consultation (FPIC). The authors then describe eight enabling factors of social acceptance of wind energy in La Guajira that they identified during the research, closing with their main conclusions.
