The San Diego World Affairs Council Presents the Distinguished Speaker Series in partnership with UCSD's Institute of the Americas Featuring: Stanford Professor Dr. Javier Mejia ”Colombia: A Land of Beauty & Symbol of Magical Realism: A Balancing Act Between Macroeconomic Stability and Political Violence” At the core of Colombia's identity lies a striking paradox: how can a region marred by high levels of violence maintain remarkable political and economic stability? This question delves into the intricate fabric of Colombian society, unveiling a web of complementary forces, including the legacy of a long bipartisan history, the emergence of a consolidated yet tumultuous leftist movement, the impact of globally educated technocrats, and the lack of cooperation of regionally fragmented elites.
