Abstract
Which are the main aspects that shape humanitarian governance in Colombia? How different crises result in different actors responding to those crises? How can different contexts delineate different forms of governance? In Colombia, armed conflict and related effects, mixed migration movements and natural hazard events create the conditions for humanitarian crises -sometimes all at the same time-.
Based on primary data collection and employing a practice-oriented approach, I reflect on the governance dynamics in two different study sites: Cúcuta, Norte de Santander and Mocoa, Putumayo to demonstrate that beyond the formal norms and legal frameworks, the practices, negotiations and interests (real governance) of a diversity of actors, including crisis-affected communities, result in distinct governance approaches within the same country.
