{"title":"Introduction: Citizenship, Participation and Community Action in Colombia's Post-Peace Accord Security Landscape","authors":"Dáire McGill","doi":"10.1111/blar.13552","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/blar.13552","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Colombia has experienced numerous peace initiatives in recent decades, most notably the 2016 Peace Accords between the Government of Colombia and the largest insurgent group the <i>Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo</i> (FARC-EP, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army). Despite these multilevel initiatives, the security panorama in Colombia continues to be characterised by instability. Reductive understandings of security and the lack of widespread citizen participation have stymied peacebuilding efforts and led to policy responses that are often not in accordance with societal needs. One example of this is the state promotion of heavy-handed coca eradication policies, notably during the 2018–2022 Duque government, that consider neither the vulnerabilities nor the rural political economies that motivate people to grow coca. State actions that ignore, or even exacerbate, people's security concerns end up causing frustration and resentment, particularly among already marginalised communities. The sense of disconnection thereby generated between citizens and the government threatens to undermine the progress made in reducing the harms caused by armed conflict in Colombia.</p><p>This special section features a range of analytical approaches to the study of citizen security, community action and participation, highlighting how state-centred perspectives often overlook the sociospatial dynamics that increase the risk of marginalisation and insecurity. The genesis of this Special Section is the constructive conversations held in a series of Cross-Stakeholder Forums in 2019 featuring participants from the Colombian state, international organisations, academia, professional civil society and grassroots communities. The Cross-Stakeholder Forums were organised by Pembroke College Oxford's CONPEACE (from Conflict Actors to Architects of Peace) Programme thanks to funding from Global Affairs Canada's Peace and Stabilisation Operations Program with the objective of analysing ongoing challenges to peace and security in the aftermath of the Peace Accords.</p><p>The opening article by Dáire McGill, Jan Boesten, Annette Idler and Oscar Palma sets out a conceptual framework on marginalisation and insecurity in Colombia using citizen security as an analytical lens to explore the relationship between constrained citizenship, marginalisation and violence. Tracing historical and contemporary patterns of geographic, sociocultural, political and economic marginalisation reveals the violence inherent in the processes of economic accumulation, human settlement and state creation. The article further highlights the de-marginalising potential of some recent processes, arguing that realising such potential will depend on their levels of community participation and inclusiveness. Drawing on fieldwork in Colombia's Northern Cesar Department and a series of Cross-Stakeholder Forums in 2019, this article centres the perspectives o","PeriodicalId":9338,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Latin American Research","volume":"43 1","pages":"3-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/blar.13552","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140145765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the 1960s, these limits began to disappear. But it was not until the early 1970s when the state had sufficient capacity to launch counterinsurgency tactics throughout the nation. However, contrary to traditional appreciations of Mexico's dirty war, these tactics were not exclusively used on urban and rural insurgents. They were soon employed by soldiers, secret agents and state cops often in alliance with local landowners and their pistoleros. They focused these violent practices on land invaders, groups aiming at indigenous autonomy, drug traffickers and drug producers.
