Abstract

BASSET, Yann. Keys to the Rejection of the Referendum for Peace in Colombia. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2018, n.52, pp.241-265. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n52a12.

The article analyses the victory of the NO in the referendum on the peace agreements of October 2016 in Colombia, through the analytical cartography. It shows the existence of a stable territorial cleavage on the armed conflict that was expressed at the polls both in 2014 presidential run-off and the plebiscite, and focuses on explaining the key changes between the two electoral events which were decisive in the victory of the NO. The article concludes that the NO victory is due to the votes of the urban popular sectors, peri-urban populations and intermediary cities, who did not fell represented by the discourse of peace, and feared that they would be forgotten in the context of the post-conflict.

Keywords : Post-Conflict; Peace Process; Plebiscite; Electoral Behavior; Analytical Cartography; Colombia.
