Políticas públicas para la inclusión Afrovillavicense a partir de 1991

Abstract

The Colombian state, as the primary guarantor of citizen integration, has the fundamental aim of promoting active participation in the construction of an equitable society. Public policies, as tools to achieve this objective, underwent a change of perspective as a result of the 1991 Constitution. This shift was oriented towards effective application in the social field, not limited to legislative aspects. This leads us to ask: has the notion of guaranteeing public policies manifested itself in the growth of the Afrovillavicense community? For this, it is fundamental to analyze the development of public policies and their impact on social inclusion to recognize their state. Through research and historical analysis of state policy development for Afro-Colombian community inclusion, and more specifically the community living in Villavicencio, we aim to understand the Colombian state’s progress in Afro-Colombian community inclusion. This will reveal how the modern state has focused on achieving the social development objectives of a modern state, centering on human dignity as the core of the legal system, and how the municipal administration in Villavicencio has implemented these social objectives since the 1991 Political Constitution of Colombia.
