BEDOYA BEDOYA, María Rocío. Lights and Shadows in the Implementation of the Land Reform Agreement in Colombia. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2019, n.54, pp.37-58. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n54a03.

The first point of the Peace Agreement, between the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), establishes the need for a new model that revitalizes agricultural production and that benefits the small farmer, committing the Government in the configuration of a model of integral rural development that addresses the problems of the countryside; However, both, the government of Juan Manuel Santos and the current president, Iván Duque, are betting on a neoliberal and extractivist model that seems to go against the Havana Agreement. Based on the documentary qualitative research strategy, this article gives an account of the convergences and divergences that derive from the Land Agreement and the measures promoted by the Government, in order to pave the way towards comprehensive rural reform. In conclusion, Fast Track decrees in rural areas go against territorial peace, because they do not take the autonomy of the territories into account, and give prevalence to the decisions of the central government.

Keywords : Peace Process; Postconflict; Territory; Integral Rural Reform; Colombia.
