| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The 2016 peace deal between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People’s Army (FARC-EP) faces several challenges concerning its implementation. This study explores the beliefs and attitudes of citizens from the Colombian Caribbean coast vis-à-vis the 2016 peace agreement as well as the first steps in its implementation in 2017 identifying barriers that are likely to undermine support for long-term peace. We detect a tendency to maintain beliefs and attitudes that hinder the de-escalation of the conflict and fuel mistrust, mostly linked to the weaponization of the peace process in a polarized political context. |
