The project will increase awareness among both local and international stakeholders regarding the important role informal institutions play and their interactions with transitional justice policies. Additionally, the project will contribute to an increased understanding by Colombian scholars of the interplay between institutions and transitional justice frameworks. Based on fieldwork and quantitative data collection in Colombia, the project outputs include a policy paper on land restitution that will discuss the extension/amendment process of the Colombian Victims and Land Restitution Law; a peer-reviewed publication; and open-source, non-academic materials that will explain the policy implications of the research findings in a simple and accessible manner.
