The Private Sector and Social Inclusion of Displaced Persons in Colombia: Post-Conflict Debates

Acceso Cerrado

Abstract:

The private sector plays a key role in peacebuilding. One of the ways in which this sector can contribute to peace is via the social inclusion of the victims. The concept of social inclusion has been introduced in the political and academic discourses, being one of the most applied approaches in the last two decades. However, the relationship between peacebuilding, the private sector and social inclusion of victims of forced displacement is not a common topic. Unemployment and lack of income are among the main causes of social exclusion. Taking as a starting point the Colombian case, this text aims to present how the private sector has contributed to the social inclusion of the victims of forced displacement. It was found that in Colombia the concept of social inclusion has been introduced to discourses, associating it with victims of the conflict. However, the State plays a central role in the inclusion strategies. The companies have participated in peacebuilding by means of their corporate social responsibility activities. There are very few cases cited by the literature where social inclusion initiatives are established. The text concludes showing the gaps in existing theoretical frameworks and the need to conduct further research.
