        abstract = {This study investigates the interaction between peacebuilding (PB) and state-building (SB) in post-conflict contexts through a comparative mixed-methods design that integrates quantitative governance indicators with qualitative process-tracing of peace agreement implementation. The research focuses on two long-duration conflicts: Colombia's internal warfare with the FARC-EP and Mozambique's civil war between FRELIMO and RENAMO. Results show that restoration of governance legitimacy and public trust is a stronger predictor of durable peace than technical DDR measures alone. In contrast, Mozambique's governance indicators stagnated or declined despite the formal completion of DDR activities. Overall, the study supports the argument that context-specific, legitimacy-driven approaches to PB and SB are essential for reducing the risk of violent relapse in post-conflict environments.

Este estudio investiga la interacci{\'o}n entre los procesos de paz y la construcci{\'o}n del Estado en contextos posconflicto mediante un dise{\~n}o comparativo de m{\'e}todos mixtos. La investigaci{\'o}n se centra en dos conflictos de larga duraci{\'o}n: la guerra interna de Colombia con las FARC-EP y la guerra civil de Mozambique entre los partidos pol{\'i}ticos, FRELIMO y RENAMO. Los resultados muestran que la restauraci{\'o}n de la legitimidad institucional y de la confianza p{\'u}blica es un predictor m{\'a}s s{\'o}lido de paz duradera que las medidas t{\'e}cnicas de DDR por s{\'i} solas. En contraste, los indicadores de gobernanza de Mozambique se estancaron o disminuyeron a pesar de la finalizaci{\'o}n formal de las actividades de DDR. En conjunto, el estudio respalda el argumento de que enfoques contextuales y orientados a la legitimidad para la PB y la SB son esenciales para reducir el riesgo de reca{\'i}da violenta en entornos posconflicto.}
