Most of the articles presented in this number reflect, using rigorous research as a central tool, about contributions from the Public Administration, the achievement of the goals agreed in the Peace Agreement and that constitute the pillars to avoid the transformation of the conflict in new violence.

Some of these articles were based on presentations made during the International Research Conference "Institutional Development and Governance for Peace: Challenges in the Post-Conflict" organized by the Faculty of Research of the ESAP in 2017.
