Analýza konfliktu v Kolumbii, mírového procesu a budoucích a vyhlídek za použití případové studie Bakalářská práce. Brno: Mendelova univerzita. Fakulta regionálního rozvoje a mezinárodních studií, 2017. Vedoucí bakalářské práce Ing. Eduardo Alfredo von Bennewitz Álvarez, Ph.D. Tato bakalářská práce se věnuje tématu “Analýza civilního konfliktu v Kolumbii, mírového procesu a budoucích vyhlídek za použití případové studie.“ Teoretická část mapuje obecné aspekty a informace o historickém zázemí v Kolumbii. Dále popisuje vybrané dominantní skupiny podílející se na více než 50 letém konfliktu, společně s nerovnoměrným rozložením půdy a s ním související dopad na průběh konfliktu. Práce se zabívá průběhem a obtížným dosahováním mírové dohody na pozadí historického kontextu, končící podpisem finální mírové dohody v listopadu 2016. Studie byla provedena na základě rešerše literatury s využitím primárních a sekundárních zdrojů. Cílem práce je analyzovat historické příčiny konfliktu, jeho hlavní aktéry a sociální důsledky vyplývající z konfliktu. Praktická část výzkumu je postavena na polostrukturovaném dotazníku, který byl vyplněn vzorkem vysokoškolských studentů žijících převážně v Kolumbii a České republice. Následně jsou informace získané z průzkumu analyzovány a provedeny identifikace možného potenciálu pro zlepšení situace. Informace by měly sloužit lidem pocházející ze zemí mimo Kolumbii, kteří jen stěží dokáží pochopit aktuální události spojené s mírovými procesy, a Kolumbii mají asociovanou pouze jako zemi drogových problémů.

  • Banana Massacre, Or Matanza De Las Bananeras
    BANAN A MASSACRE This Day In HISTORY December 06, 1928 "Towards the end of 1928, in protest against poor pay and working conditions, banana pickers in Colombia took the decision to come out on strike. The industrial action threatened the interests of the American-owned United Fruit Company, who lobbied the American government to send troops into Colombia to suppress the strike. In order to obviate the need for US troops entering Colombian territory, the Colombian government acted to suppress the strike itself, and on 6 December sent armed forces into the town of Cienaga, the strikers’ stronghold. The suppression was ruthless and violent, and was responsible for the deaths of scores of strikers and members of their families. It became known as The Banana Massacre, or Matanza de las Bananeras. The workers of the United Fruit Company had several key grievances, most of which concerned their harsh working conditions, and the perception of being under-valued. They demanded formal written contracts, eight-hour working days, six-day working weeks and an end to the practice of paying wages with food coupons. Backed by left-leaning politicians, the strike quickly gathered momentum and became the largest display of organised dissent ever seen in Colombia. Alarmed by the extent of the civil unrest, but unwilling to allow America to participate in a domestic matter, the Colombian government sent a regiment from Bogotá to put down the strike. Under the leadership of General Cortés Vargas, the government forces set up heavily armed posts around Cienaga’s main square, surrounding the strikers who were gathered within.

  • I. Introduction I. Introduction
    I. Introduction Political violence in Colombia continues to take more lives than in any other country in the hemisphere. Some of the killings take place during fighting between combatants, but most are cases of simple murder. Those responsible for these murders include members of the military and security forces as well as insurgents, hired gunmen and paramilitary groups. The intellectual authors of these crimes are comparably varied. The very complexity of political violence in Colombia often serves as a shield for those who order and commit violent acts. As this report demonstrates, the Colombian government has done too little to work through these complexities to identify, prosecute and punish those behind the political violence. This failing has been greatest in acknowledging the role of military and security forces in the killings. These forces continue to commit violent abuses themselves, and to condone and support killings by paramilitary groups. The problem is most acute in the case of paramilitary groups. These groups, which have been responsible for some of the largest and most sensational massacres, are gangs of highly trained killers, often masquerading as "self-defense" associations of farmers. Powerful economic interests recruit, train, finance and support these bands, and use them to target leftist political activists, leaders of peasant and popular organizations, and those Colombians perceived to be the "social base" of the guerrillas. Drug traffickers are among the most prominent supporters of paramilitary groups, a fact

(Sachs, 1996:23) Por Julián Gutiérrez Castaño Licenciado en Etnoeducación y Desarrollo Comunitario Voluntario Equipos Cristianos de Acción por la Paz –ECAP- Barrancabermeja, 29 de septiembre de 2008 • Introducción … 1 • Procesos organizativos y territorios que hemos acompañado … 3 • Un modelo de desarrollo para la exclusión … 4 • Paramilitarismo y crecimiento económico … 13 • El Plan Colombia … 25 • La autodeterminación: una zancadilla al desarrollo empobrecedor … 36 • Conclusión … 52 • Bibliografía … 53 Introducción Este artículo fue escrito con el fin de darle un soporte teórico a una serie de presentaciones y conversatorios que realicé en Colombia y Estados Unidos. La metodología que escogí para escribirlo estuvo guiada por un deseo de mantenerme fiel a las presentaciones. Por esa y otras razones descargué las diapositivas utilizadas durante las mismas: le dan soporte a lo que quiero comunicar, ya que se trata de información que tiene poca difusión en los medios de comunicación, sean escritos o visuales; los gráficos hacen el texto más accesible para lectores no académicos y refuerza un poco las creencias populares –justo como las de las personas y comunidades que aparecen en este trabajo- de ‘ver para creer’ y ‘ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente’. Este trabajo no es el resultado de una investigación, mi trabajo en ECAP no es realizar investigaciones y la organización no contempla ese tipo de trabajos en su misión. Mi labor en ECAP es acompañar procesos de autodeterminación de comunidades en el contexto del conflicto social y armado colombiano, con el objetivo de reducir los niveles de violencia.

    For the exclusive use of N. Demir, 2017. TB0245 Andreas Schotter Mary Teagarden Blood Bananas: Chiquita in Colombia No one laughs at the banana in its areas of origin. It is too serious a business, on which jobs and lives depend. Peter Chapman, Author of Jungle Capitalists. For Chiquita Brands International, a pioneer in the globalization of the banana industry, bananas are not only serious business, they represent an array of economic, social, environmental, political, and legal hassles. Since its founding more than a hundred years ago as United Fruit Company, Chiquita has been involved in paying bribes to Latin American government officials in exchange for preferential treatment, encouraging or supporting U.S. coups against smaller nations, putting in place dictatorships in Central America’s “banana republics,” exploiting local workers, creating an abusive monopoly, and now doing business with terrorists.1 For American multinationals, the rewards of doing business abroad are enormous, but so are the risks. Over the past decades, no place has been more hazardous than Colombia, a country that is just emerging from a deadly civil war and the effects of wide-ranging narco-terrorism. Chiquita found out the hard way. It made tens of millions in profit growing bananas in Colombia, only to emerge with its reputation splattered in blood.2 In 2004, Chiquita voluntarily admitted criminal responsibility to the U.S. Justice Department that one of its Colombian banana subsidiaries had made protection payments from 1997 through 2004 to terrorist groups. Consequently, a high-profile investigation and legal trial followed. In 2007, Chiquita entered into a plea agree- ment to resolve the criminal prosecution.

War of 1885 - The Conservatives gain the upper hand and seize the presidency. They rewrite the constitution (1886) and restore their old powers to the Church and the Conservative landowners (hacendados, latifundistas). 4. 1885-1930 - Conservatives hold national power. 5. 1899 -1902 = “The War of The Thousand Days” = the most destructive war in Colombia since the Wars of Independence; more than 100,000 dead out of a national population of 4 million.

On northern Caribbean coast, the Liberal general = Rafael Uribe Uribe. Under him, the Black population carries out guerrilla warfare against the Conservative landowners (that is, in a conflict where, on both sides, the generals are landowners and the soldiers are peasants, an inter-class conflict takes on the characteristics of a popular struggle with racial overtones).
