The tobacco business should be reduced, not only in Colombia, but also in several places in the world where government is responsible for taking care of public health. However, this significantly affects the farming families who have depended on this product for generations. The exit of the tobacco giant Philip Morris International from the country is a sign of this intensifying situation, as evidenced by researchers from Universidad del Rosario.

The land restitution judges, just as the civil judges, involved in proceedings for the formalization of rural property rights are the key figures for implementing public policies aimed at solving one of the central causes of internal conflicts in Colombia. However, labor instability, the gridlock at court offices, the clash of regulations and concepts, among other factors, affect their work. We present the first findings of the Lands Observatory.

The neighboring country is the perfect example of how nations can be reestablished and what this implies on internal and external levels. By analyzing this case, Professor Mauricio Jaramillo Jassir, from the Faculty of International, Political, and Urban Studies, explains the likelihood of such transformations with the conjunction of different facts.

The crisis uncovered the insecurities, which today are “ultra-insecurities,” of informal labor and workers. The latter account for the vast majority of the working population in Colombia, and in spite of such condition, they are not protected by adequate public policies. On the contrary, they are usually oppressed. The research of an international interdisciplinary group took the country as a study case to evidence a situation affecting the whole planet.

The meat, dairy, and vegetable industries stand a great chance to help Colombia protect the Earth’s ozone layer. A study conducted by the Management of the School of Business Administration provides clues to determine actions for change, technology transfer, and modernization promotion required for the national agricultural market, which may impact favorably on exports.

Three economists from Universidad del Rosario reveal how the pandemic prepared a new scenario that enables an increase in corruption in Colombia. These findings were obtained with new data science methodologies.

Since the 70s, public policies have pursued house building to support the economic sectors and to generate employment, and to that end, they have focused on providing incentives for boosting families to own a home through indebtedness. The research by two professors from del Rosario questions that reality and proposes to understand housing not just as a property that can be bought through financing but as a right that can be guaranteed by different schemes of home ownership.
