Peace has been a constant longing in the history of Colombia. From the first shoots

of the armed conflict to date, efforts to achieve reconciliation have

deeply marked the country's politics and society. The concept of "total peace" is not

only an end, but a promise of radical transformation in economic structures,

social and political that have perpetuated the conflict. This work aims to analyze

the evolution of this concept, particularly in the framework of political developments and

social of recent years, highlighting the policies of the government of Gustavo Petro, who

assumed power in 2022 with the promise of promoting a peace that encompasses all

sectors of society.

"Total peace" is not just the demobilization of armed groups or the signing of

peace, but a comprehensive change ranging from social justice to development

sustainable economic, through political inclusion and historical reparation of

victims. In this introduction, the armed conflict is briefly contextualized

Colombian, previous peace efforts, and the concept of "total peace" is presented as

the starting point of this work.
