Abstract
Objective/context: the article proposes to analyze the political scope and the methodological challenges involved in the territorial social dialogue (DST) in Buenaventura ( Colombia ), where the daily struggles of the communities revolve around the defense of their right to live in peace . and with dignity in their territories. Methodology: the reflection is based on a case study that was part of a participatory investigation between 2019 and 2020 in Buenaventura , around the relationship between social dialogue and reconciliation. The analysis draws on theoretical contributions from the local turn of peace , studies on conflict transformation , dialogue studies and the decolonial turn . Conclusions: despite being fertile in practical terms, social dialogue has been prone to conceptual indefinition; For this reason, this article, based on this case study , concludes that: i) the DST is an ontological, political and historical resource that can be used by various social sectors and local communities to confront the hegemonic imagination and planning on development and territory; ii) the DST is characterized by political and methodological virtues, as well as by gray areas yet to be explored. Originality: the article analyzes the little explored experience of territorial social dialogue in Buenaventura . In addition, it warns about its challenges and difficulties when both the social agreement to live in peace and dignity in the territory as certain antagonistic actors and/or traditionally reluctant to dialogue .
