Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze some of the practices developed during the peace process between Colombia’s government and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrilla from the perspective of two negotiation models. There is a common distinction between the two approaches to negotiation which allow negotiators to get what is important for them, the distributive and the collaborative. We found practices conducive to solve the armed conflict which are in alignment with a collaborative negotiation approach, and we also found that a distributive negotiation approach was avoided most of the time.

Keywords: collaborative peace, peace practices, peace between Colombia’s Government and FARC, negotiation approaches
