Armed group proliferation and conflict dynamics
How are conflict dynamics affected by contexts with many different actors compared with those dominated by a few? At the aggregate level, civil conflicts with many different rebels and militias experience higher levels of violence and human rights abuse, but the causal link between these two features remains underexplored. Are violent contexts particularly prone to organizational fragmentation or does the proliferation of armed groups lead to inc…
Political elite cues and attitude formation in post-conflict contexts
Civil conflicts typically end with negotiated settlements, but many settlements fail, often during the implementation stage when average citizens have increasing influence. Citizens sometimes evaluate peace agreements by voting on referendums or the negotiating leaders, and, almost always, they decide whether to cooperate. Yet, despite their role, we do not know much about how citizens form attitudes toward peace agreements. In this article, we a…
The Power of Political Discussion
This paper explores the influence of political discussion networks on vote choice. We ask two questions: What type of discussion networks influence vote choice? And, what are the mechanisms through which discussion networks influence voting behavior? We argue that discussing politics with others affects electoral decisions when citizens are surrounded by discussants whose political views are homogeneous and that this influence can operate through…
Do Citizens’ Preferences Matter? Shaping Legislator Attitudes Towards Peace Agreements
To what extent are legislators, responsible for the implementation of many peace agreements, responsive to citizens’ preferences? Examining the 2016 Colombian peace agreement, we embed an experiment in the 2019 wave of a survey of all the members of Congress. We inform legislators about the attitudes of the general population and residents of conflict-affected regions on a provision included in the peace agreement: the creation of 16 special seat…
El desarrollo dependiente
Objetivo/contexto: este artículo explora las razones detrás del desbalance y las limitaciones que persisten en América Latina para acceder a información de opinión pública en materia de preferencias sobre políticas públicas. Metodología: presenta un análisis descriptivo sobre el desarrollo de los estudios de opinión pública en la región, con base en entrevistas a académicos y encuestadores de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, México…
Testing Statebuilding’s ‘Missing Link’
Research from developed countries indicates that improving how government communicates with the public can increase trust in government and satisfaction with public services. In countries affected by violent conflict, communication has even been described as the ‘missing link’ necessary to rebuild a positive relationship between citizen and state. Does this approach work? This paper presents a field experiment implemented in partnership with a Co…
A Tale of Two Countries
The utility of list experiments in overcoming social desirability bias in surveys may be conditioned on social contexts. Sensitive issues in some countries may be less delicate in others, as with the case of drug use. We test this argument using a list experiment to measure marijuana use in two countries that differ in terms of social progressiveness: Colombia and Uruguay. Using nationally representative samples, we find no differences between th…
The Farc in the Public Eye
After four years of negotiations between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, FARC), a peace agreement was signed in 2016. This accord ended a five-decade-long conflict that has touched almost every Colombian in some way. Over these decades, the FARC has been an omnipresent actor who most citizens reject. Yet a minority of Colombians who have lived under the FARC's i…
Between Conflict and Politics
Political participation of former combatants is a central component of peace agreements. Similarly, people’s acceptance of political parties derived from such agreements is a crucial element towards peace building. Considering the peace deal between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, FARC), we ask “What factors shape popular support for the FARC’s political involve…
Does Counterinsurgent Success Match Social Support? Evidence from a Survey Experiment in Colombia
Dominant theories of counterinsurgency suggest that state forces must win over citizens to identify insurgents among them. Yet even where state forces are losing, polling shows consistently strong support for counterinsurgents. How can we explain this discrepancy? Dominant theories of counterinsurgency could be incorrect, or, as we posit, individuals systematically may falsify their reported preferences. This study builds on the intuition that in…
The Colombian Paradox
Ending civil conflict is difficult, particularly through political settlements. Conflicts now often occur in states with elections, and voters have sometimes been directly involved in the process, potentially in efforts to overcome elite divisions. Yet, according to evidence from the 2016 popular plebiscite in Colombia, referendums and other tools of direct approval by voters seem to amplify elite divisions and therefore are not a useful mechanis…
Opiniones Ciudadanas Ante Las Políticas Antidrogas en Seis Ciudades De América Latina
The aim of the paper is to explore opinions and attitudes of citizens in six Latin American cities from drugs- consumption and production-and drug policies. This paper asks how liberals are the opinions of citizens about drugs and drug policy, if any difference to this issue among the various Latin American cities, and what is the relationship between socio-demographic and contextual factors with ideological these opinions and attitudes. The data…
Porque te quiero te apoyo
Cuál es la relación entre un estilo de gobierno personalista y la aprobación presidencial? Y ¿hasta qué punto la relación entre evaluaciones de la economía, identidad partidista y aprobación residencial está condicionada por el estilo de gobierno personalista? Abordamos estas preguntas usando encuestas de opinión y datos contextuales sobre el estilo de gobierno. La información sobre el estilo de gobierno proviene de una medida original desarrolla…
Keeping Up with the Souzas
Despite weak partisanship and considerable political change in the wake of the 2002 election, three-quarters of Brazilian voters supported a presidential candidate in 2006 from the same party they had backed in 2002. This article assesses the factors causing both electoral stability and electoral change with a transition model, a model testing whether the effects of respondents' evaluative criteria depend on their initial vote choices. Social con…
Apropiación de los espacios participados. Retos para la acción política de los estudiantes
En los últimos años la Universidad de los Andes ha vivido procesos de participación estudiantil diferentes a las experiencias del pasado. Esto, en cuánto se ha dado un proceso de reconocimiento formal de espacios de participación y porque la manera en que estudiantes y directivas han asumido temas fundamentales de la vida universitaria da muestra de una madurez en relación entre estos dos actores. En efecto, hoy se percibe una menor prevención po…
