ABSTRACT
The article reflects on two dimensions (relatively) unconsidered in the contemporary analysis of the implementation process od the Final Peace Agreement in Colombia: governance and new public management. It interrogates the inconveniences of postponing the agreed institutional reforms and adjustments agreed between the Colombian Government and the former guerrilla of the FARC-EP (today the political party: Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común – FARC), at the governmental and organizational levels of the state, discussing the situations and conditions required to achieve the purposes at the transitional moment in the country, from the scenario of war to a scenario of Peace and its stable and longstanding construction. It calls attention for the virtual ‘cognitive dissonance’ of the status quo as a characteristic of the Colombian socioeconomic regimen and political system which are obstacles for processes of socialization and democratization in the post-agreement period.
