Hi, I would like to focus my dissertation on the phenomenon of the public voting 'NO' to the Colombian peace treaties of 2016.
I have done some brainstorming:
Causes:
- Opposition campaign lead by popular ex-president Alvaro Uribe
- Cultural differences
- Historical background (suffering)
- People not interested in politics
- Media, propaganda coverage, fake news
- Difficulty in reading the peace accords
- The church involvement against the government
- Electoral victory of Alvaro Uribe
I was wondering if you had some theoretical knowledge I can link my research to? I would really appreciate some help narrowing down to have a more focused direction, thank you.
Some readings to start are
Article Brexit, paz y Trump: enseñanzas para los economistas
by Liliana Alejandra Chicaiza-Becerra and myself.El triunfo del No. La paradoja emocional detrás del plebiscito. by Andrei Gomez-Suarez.
The first one is a comparative article dealing with several of the points you mention. The second one is a small book focusing on the emotional aspects of the problem. Both are in Spanish.
Have you read Forrest Hylton, the Experience of Defeat?
