Si bien durante las décadas de los cincuenta y de los sesenta del siglo pasado, el estudio de la epi alcanzó un momento de esplendor en la región gracias a las contribuciones del estructuralismo económico y a la Teoría de la Dependencia, este fue dejado de lado temporalmente debido a profundas transformaciones políticas y académicas en la región. Ello se evidencia en la ausencia de centros de investigación y pensamiento dedicados al estudio de la epi, la ausencia de libros de texto y artículos publicados en castellano y/o portugués, y la escasa comunicación y colaboración entre investigadores

In doing so, we draw attention to the reciprocal interaction of two sets of mechanisms \u2013 inside-out and outside-in \u2013 that trigger policy norm change within the \u201cnorm circle\u201d (see Introduction to this volume). Specifically, we argue that both organizational culture centered around the reigning neoliberal economic paradigm inside the Fund and the level of acceptance of specific economic ideas outside the Fund are crucial mechanisms in order to understand the rise of the capital account liberalization policy norm and its failed institutionalization

However, the private sector’s role in the armed conflict and the impact of conflict on entrepreneurial activity vary, as reflected by differences in political activism, in peacebuilding strategies and in costs endured according to company size, sector, and region of operations. At the same time, accounts of regional variation in conflict intensity suggest that an understanding of the Colombian confrontation requires a subnational approach.

The book intentionally steers away from the emphasis on the drug trade as the main resource fueling Colombian conflicts and violence. Instead, it focuses on the links between legal resources (such as bananas, coffee, coal, flowers, gold, ferronickel, emeralds, and oil) and the dynamics of conflict and crime in several regions of Colombia. The book thus contributes to a growing trend in the scholarly literature focusing on the subnational level of armed conflict behavior. It stresses how the social and economic contexts in which these resources are embedded can operate as deterrents or drivers of violence. Just as resources have been linked to outbreaks and transformations of violence, peacebuilding too needs to take their impacts, legacies, and potential seriously.

Con miras a prestar atención al vínculo recurso-conflicto, analizamos el caso de las esmeraldas en Boyacá, Colombia. Por un lado, le seguimos la pista a la historia del conflicto armado entre el Estado y los empresarios de las esmeraldas; y, por otro lado, describimos el conflicto entre estos últimos. En lugar de una conexión directa o causal entre la producción de esmeraldas y el conflicto, con el tiempo encontramos una relación cambiante entre ellos. En concordancia con el institucionalismo histórico, el contexto de la extracción favorece los vínculos entre recursos naturales y conflictos violentos. Sostenemos que la existencia de un marco de extracción conjunto público-privado posterior a 1990 ha operado como un amortiguador institucional contra la penetración del conflicto armado a nivel nacional en la región esmeraldera. Sin embargo, la violencia como tal no ha desparecido de la región. El gran número de conexiones entre la industria de las esmeraldas y el negocio de las drogas ilícitas ha incursionado en una nueva dinámica del conflicto en la región esmeraldera del occidente de Boyacá.
