Effects of the implementation of peace agreements on the organic structure of the state: the bureaucracy of peace

Abstract

The signing and ratification of the Final Agreement for the Ending of the Internal Conflict in Colombia and the Construction of a Stable and Lasting Peace initiated the process of implementation and, consequently, the issuance of a large number of constitutional and legal regulations, through a special procedure for peace known as fast track. This normativity created, modified or applied, temporarily, but with medium and long-term effects, the organic structure of the State and its personnel plant. From Weber’s perspective, this phenomenon is called: the “bureaucracy of peace”. In this sense, the present document has two objectives: i) to analyse the fulfilment of the obligations of generative reform arrangements relevant to the different branches of public power (legislative, executive, judicial) and autonomous and independent branch; ii) to make an inventory of the effects of the implementation of the agreements on the organic structure of the State to describe how this process affects the institutional design contained in the Political Constitution of Colombia.
