Abstract

ABSTRACT This article interrogates how survivors/victims participate in peacemaking and victim-centred Transitional Justice initiatives, focusing on the role of the victims' delegations during the Santos-FARC/EP peace talks in Colombia (2012-2016). The article presents unique empirical data, drawing on sixty-eight interviews with participants from the talks. The research assesses Colombia's victim-centred approach, arguing that the delegations shaped the content of the peace agreement, influenced historic narratives of victimhood and shaped victim-perpetrator relationships, facilitating victim agency and empowerment. However, wider political and economic prerogatives and dominant TJ tendencies constrained the broader exercise of agency, whilst participants experienced episodes of disempowerment and instrumentalisation.

以受害者为中心的和平建设：哥伦比亚的经验

摘要本文探讨了幸存者/受害者如何参与建立和平和以受害者为中心的过渡时期司法倡议，重点是受害者代表团在哥伦比亚桑托斯哥伦比亚革命武装力量/人民解放军和平谈判期间（2012-2016年）的作用。这篇文章提供了独特的实证数据，利用了68次对会谈参与者的采访。该研究评估了哥伦比亚以受害者为中心的做法，认为代表团塑造了和平协议的内容，影响了受害者的历史叙述，塑造了受害者与犯罪者的关系，促进了受害者代理和赋权。然而，更广泛的政治和经济特权以及占主导地位的TJ倾向限制了更广泛的代理权行使，而参与者则经历了权力的剥夺和工具化。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
