Mas allá del crecimiento económico: superar el conflicto armado y las instituciones extractivas Mas allá del crecimiento económico: superar el conflicto armado y las instituciones extractivas

Abstract

Colombia has shown macroeconomic stability over the past two decades; however, the country’s human development lags behind that of the region. This phenomenon can be related to the action of extractive institutions, fed back by the social context of internal armed conflict. The objective of this investigation is to establish whether the agreements signed between the government and the farc are an incentive for development and whether these are more important than the economic growth itself for the development of the country. The research method adopted was documentary research. The main conclusion is that the agreements with the farc are a path to development and, since they are agreements that go beyond the country’s entire socio-economic policy, they are also more important than economic growth
