BARRETO HENRIQUES, Miguel. The Magdalena Medio Peace and Development Programme: a Peacebuilding Model for Colombia's Post Conflict?. Pap.polit. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.2, pp.461-479. ISSN 0122-4409.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.papo20-2.pdpm.

This paper focuses on a sui generis peacebuilding experience in Colombia - the Magdalena Medio Peace and Development Programme (PDPMM). Its main purpose is to assess the extent to which the PDPMM stands as a true 'peace laboratory' and paves new roads and alternative 'formulas' for peace at local and regional levels, which could be replicated in other regions of the country, in a potential post-conflict scenario in Colombia. The hypothesis of the present work is that the PDPMM represents a valid and consolidated positive peacebuilding model at the regional level, from which various lessons can be learned, in order to build a sustainable and lasting peace in Colombia.

Keywords : peacebuilding; post conflict; Peace and Development Programmes; Magdalena Medio Peace and Development Programme; positive peace; sustainable peace; culture of peace.
