Abstract

MORENO, William Farfán  and  GUERRA, Luis Wuilliam Bravo. The role of the State Military Forces in the Chair of Peace and security: a Look From the Department of Cundinamarca. Prolegómenos [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.47, pp.117-132.  Epub Aug 06, 2021. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.5423.

one of the objectives of the Final Peace Agreement in Colombia (2016) was to promote knowledge and skills about the territory, culture, the economic and social context and historical memory through the Chair of Peace. When issues related to historical memory and peace in the school are raised, concern arises about the role of the Military Forces in the chair. The question arises because, to the extent that the Military Forces, at the institutional level, are armed actors and, from the subjectivity of their members, some are victims of the armed conflict, they must also be peace builders and contribute to the Chair of Peace. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to interpret and analyze the perceptions of the Military Forces held in the school about the Chair of Peace through a qualitative approach using the method of content analysis of the participants' speeches in the focus groups (directors, teachers and parents of private and official schools of Cundinamarca, Colombia). The purpose is to generate recommendations for both, the Chair of Peace and the military institution.. Among the results of the research, it is found that the perception about the active work of the Military Forces within the teaching-learning processes in the Chair of Peace is that, from the signing of the Final Agreement and the implementation of the lecture, they are rethinking themselves as actors. Not only as guarantors of order but also as peace builders. Also, the new context forces us to resignify the role of the Military Forces as actors for peace.

Keywords : Chair of Peace; State Military Forces; peace; safety.
