444: The Ruling Elites in Colombia

<p>We are incredibly fortunate to speak to Jenny Pearce, Research Professor,<br /> Latin America and Caribbean Centre (LACC) at LSE about her current research which focuses particularly on the role of Elites and Violence in Latin America.<br /> <br /> She worked with young researchers in Colombia, led by Juan David Velasco (Lecturer, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana), on elites and the Peace Accord.<br /> <br /> Together they designed a database to better define and differentiate elites in Colombia and the families behind them. Learn about the power wielded by a few families and how their far-reaching influence defines Colombia's wealth and politics.<br /> <br /> The research is funded by the Instituto Colombo-Alemán para la Paz (CAPAZ).
