During the second half of the 20th century, Colombia suffered extreme levels of political violence. This book explores the involvement of the international community in peacebuilding efforts in Colombia since 2016. In particular, it examines how the interventions were framed in order to promote and sustain their involvement and questions whether these frames reflected the true reality within Colombia.

The book focuses on key donors, including US, the EU, Canada, Sweden and the UK, as well as multinational actors, such as the UN and the World Bank, to demonstrate how their framing of local issues for international consumption can have real world implications for peacebuilding efforts on the ground.

Catalina Montoya Londoño is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Liverpool Hope University. Catalina is also the Director of the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Centre for War and Peace Studies, as well as for the MA in Politics and International Relations.
