Resumen

La implementación de las disposiciones del Acuerdo Final de Paz sobre tierras debió brindar una oportunidad sin precedentes para que Colombia superara los obstáculos tradicionales a la vigencia efectiva de reformas que aseguren la tenencia de la tierra, faciliten el acceso de grupos vulnerables, y materialicen el potencial productivo del campo colombiano. Sin embargo, dos años después los logros son mínimos; Mientras que la mayor parte de los debates académicos se han centrado en cuestiones ideológicas acerca del alcance de los derechos de propiedad privada, este ensayo aborda algunos desafíos de política e instituciones que enfrenta la Administración que comenzó en Agosto de 2018. La falta de marcos de política e institucionales fuertes ha afectado la ejecución de reformas anteriores, y puede también afectar las reformas propuestas por la nueva Administración. Los desafíos siguen siendo enormes y, como lo sostiene este ensayo, a menos que sean apropiadamente tratados, el riesgo de otra reforma frustrada seguirá siendo alto.
