148. Colombia's FFP & 'Total Peace' Efforts

How a State views itself and its relations with Others? With the 'Total Peace' Law approved recently, the Gustavo Petro Administration is seeking to end the decades-long armed conflict with multiple groups and actors in Colombia during the 2022-2026 period. The announcement of a FFP model comes with a willingness to redesign the National Action Plan for 1325 Resolution to fit the 'Total Peace' efforts. As we see this agenda unfold, how controversies surrounding the words "feminism", "race" and  "peace" in the Latin America region may or can transform domestic and foreign affairs? Can intersectional lenses be applied in representation, design and implementation? Lastly, are ffp models becoming excellent examples of political communication to showcase "progress" and receive "external validation" from the 'North' instead of... "real" and "effective" policies and actions?
