ELECTORAL MAP ACCORDING summarizes the present political panorama with a view to the elections TO THE POLITICAL PARTIES of the Senate (9th of March), the House of Representatives (9th of POLITICIANS March) and the Presidency of the Republic (25th of May) which will take AUTHORS place during this year. LLORENTE & CUENCA The main political parties and their stance with regards the popular election day are presented. 2. GENERAL ANALYSIS After months of uncertainty and speculations, the Colombian political panorama is beginning to clarify itself. The announcement of the ex- President Álvaro Uribe Vélez to head the list of the Centro Democrático (Democratic Centre) for the Senate, the definition of candidates of other collectives for the Presidency, the announcement of President Juan Manual Santos to stand for re-election and the beginning of campaigns for the candidates for the seats in the Senate and the Camera of Representatives, are facts which begin to outline the electoral future. In the specific case of the presidential elections, the most prominent facts are focused on the announcement of the Partido Conservador (Conservative Party) to present its own candidate, leaving behind the alliance with the president Juan Manuel Santos for re-election. In addition, the latter has still not defined who will be his formula in the Vice-presidency, but speculations suggest that it could be the former Director of the National Police, Oscar Naranjo. A third leading actor in the campaign for the presidency is Oscar Iván Zuluaga, representative of the Centro Democrático (Democratic Centre) party, who has the support of the former president Uribe. It is worth highlighting that for the time being, only three parties support the re-election of Santos: Partido Liberal (Colombian Liberal Party), Cambio Radical (Radical Change) and Partido de La U (Social Party of National Unity or Party of the U). With this panorama, the current President will stand for the presidential elections in a coalition with these movements and it is expected that the logos of the three parties will appear in the space designated for the candidate for president on the electoral leaflet. 2 PRE-ELECTION POLITICAL PANORAMA – COLOMBIA Along different lines and based • Although the country has on the most recent survey already began to breath the elaborated by Ipsos-Napoleón atmosphere of the electoral Franco for the media alliance of campaign, no candidate RCN Radio, RCN Televisión, La stands out or makes an FM and Revista Semana, “four important difference. months before the first round, Santos maintains his lead, but • Zuluaga has not been able an atypical trend continues.

  • Political Finance and the Equal Participation of Women in Colombia: a Situation Analysis
    Political finance and the equal participation of women in Colombia: a situation analysis The impact of economic resources on the political participation of women has become a prominent issue in the field of comparative political finance. In recent Kevin Casas-Zamora and Elin Falguera years, there has been a growing recognition that politics dominated by money is, more often than not, politics dominated by men. It is not surprising that the issue has moved to the forefront of debates on gender and political finance. This report assesses the extent to which political finance is a significant obstacle to women running for political office. It focuses on the experience of Colombia, a country that, like many other Latin American countries, continues to struggle with the legacies of pervasive social, economic and political inequality that disproportionately affect women. It explores the role of political finance in hindering women’s access to political power and its relative weight with respect to other obstacles to women’s political participation. It also suggests a number of institutional changes that might ameliorate some of the problems identified, while being fully cognizant of the limits to institutional change recasting deep-rooted gender imbalances.

She is currently working on a book that examines opposition strategies against democratically elected presidents who try to under- mine checks and balances and stay in office, effectively eroding democ- racy. Her work has been published in Political Research Quarterly and Comparative Politics. As his two terms in the presidency neared their end in 2018, Juan Manuel Santos might have expected that he would be enjoying high standing among his fellow Colombians. Having won the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize for his role as leader of a peace deal with the long-running leftist insurgency known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Co- lombia (FARC), Santos could fairly claim to be leaving his country of fifty-million people a better democracy than it had been when he first took office in 2010. The peace agreement is Colombia’s most important achievement in recent decades. Signed in November 2016, the accord ended an armed conflict that had gone on for more than five decades.

  • The Formal Determinants of Informal Settlements in Bogota, Colombia
    The Formal Determinants of Informal Settlements in Bogota, Colombia by Andres Guillermo Blanco This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Warner,Mildred E (Chairperson) Nicholson,Charles Frederick (Minor Member) Roldan,Mary Jean (Minor Member) THE FORMAL DETERMINANTS OF INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andres Guillermo Blanco August 2010 © 2010 Andres Guillermo Blanco THE FORMAL DETERMINANTS OF INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA Andres Guillermo Blanco, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 The central question in this dissertation is why formal mechanisms of housing production and land allocation have been unable to absorb the growing demand in the cities of the developing world. My general methodological approach is to analyze the historical process of urbanization of Bogotá, Colombia a city known by the prevalence of informality and its rich experience in the implementation of different land and housing policies. My hypothesis is that informal settlements are structural to the formal process of production of the built environment because, within a context of inequality and natural property rights, this process tends to under-provide land with urban services. The dissertation is structured as three interrelated papers. In the first paper, I study the relationship between an institutional context dominated by the concept of property as a natural right and the pattern of under-provision of urban services arguing that informality is engendered in the same formal process of production and allocation of the built environment because the concept of property as a natural right produces a dynamic of privatization of benefits of city growth and socialization of its costs that results in under-provision of urban services.

El propósito del artículo es discutir los resultados electorales, con especial atención a la forma en que la propuesta del referendo para reelegir a Álvaro Uribe Vélez impactó la dinámica electoral. Primero, analiza el contexto de las elecciones, posteriormente los resultados electorales y finalmente cómo este nuevo panorama consolida un sistema multipartidista en el nivel nacional después de la reforma del 2003.
