Summary
This interdisciplinary panel will focus on the main challenges that the new Colombian government will have to face between 2022 and 2026, especially in terms of governance and room to maneuver in the face of structural problems exacerbated by the pandemic -such as inequality or poverty. At the same time, the discussion will pay special attention to the similarities and differences between the Colombian elections and other recent ones in Latin America, for example in Peru and Chile, where there has been an evident competition between left and right options. With this Faculty Working Group, the Colombian Studies Initiative reaffirms its commitment to offer plural and reflective views on the Colombian reality, and leaves open the invitation for students, professors and the general public to participate in the debate that will mark much of the course of Colombia within the next four years
