Our #paper is out in the #APSR.

We experimentally evaluate a dispute resolution intervention in #Colombia to replace rebel governance, harnessing complementarities between state & communal authorities where the #FARC once ruled. The program enhanced the quality of local dispute resolution, increased citizens’ trust in state institutions, & strengthened coordination between state & communal authorities. It also reduced citizen trust in & reliance on armed groups.
