PUERTA HENAO, Eneida. Integrative Review. Theoretical Perspectives on Territorial Peacebuilding in Colombia. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2023, n.66, pp.177-201.  Epub June 28, 2023. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n66a08.

The article makes an integrative review that analyzes the scientific production on the territorial peacebuilding in Colombia. Using the descriptors “peace building” and “territorial peace”, the DIALNET and EBSCO databases were accessed and 84 texts published between 2015 and 2021 were selected. The conceptual trends on territorial peace were synthesized in three premises: i) To understand territorial peace, theoretical, liberal, and critical perspectives prevail, although in Colombia the decolonial perspective is gaining strength; ii) conceptualizing territorial peace implies understanding the practices and discourses that institutional and community‑based actors carry out on a daily basis in favor of its construction; and iii) territorial peace is a compound expression that requires understanding the notions of peace and territory. Peace is also a political and dynamic process which is connected to dignified life plans, it seeks that the territories recover the collective functions lost due to the war, for which the moral and geographical intersection and mobilization of their imagination by the communities is appropriate.

Keywords : Political Theory; Negotiated Peace; Territorial Peace; Post-Conflict; Moral Imagination; Geographic Imagination.
