BACUP was set up by a group of academics working in the UK on Colombia literally to offer ‘back up’ support to the Colombian peace process from the UK.
The BACUP network is open to all academics in the UK from any discipline who have an interest in Colombia. As a network of scholars, BACUP understands its role as building a group of critical friends to this peace process, contributing deeper understanding of the diverse historical roots of armed conflict and violence as well as looking forward to what a Colombia ‘under peace’ might look like.
