This thesis examines the disputes over the meaning of peace in a municipality of the Colombian Andean Amazon: Piamonte, in the department of Cauca, where tensions converge between community struggles for a dignified life and state-business interests aimed at the expansion of extractivist development. The research proposes that peace is a field of dispute in which different actors compete to define what peace means and how the territories should be organized after the historic peace agreement with the extinct FARC-EP.
