Abstract

GHISO COTOS, Alfredo; BRICENO AYALA, Ricardo  and  ACEVEDO VALENCIA, Jenny. Organizations of Displaced Persons for the Construction of a Dignified Present and Future. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2010, n.37, pp.73-94. ISSN 0121-5167.

Based on the results offered by research conducted in the cities of Medellín and  Bogotà,  this  article  aims  to  understand:  the  characteristics  of the  contexts  in which Organizations for Displaced Populations (OPD in Spanish) intervene; the way in which they aim to re-establish rights; and some tensions in the interactions these organizations have with public and private institutions. It  concludes  that  vital  urgencies,  responses  to  basic necessities,  security problems presented by urban contexts, organizational models, leadership, and modes of negotiating with the State determine the reach and limits of the struggles for the re-establishment of rights for displaced populations.

Keywords : Displaced Persons; Organizations for Displaced Persons; Re-establishment of Rights; Collective Action.
