ABSTRACT

This chapter evaluates different pathways for political reintegration at the collective and the individual level. For the former, I examine the challenges and difficulties the illegal armed groups may have in their transformation into political parties. The paramilitary groups failed in their attempts to create a political party due to their incapacity to consolidate a political proposition; the continuation of criminal activities and internecine power struggles; high levels of rejection at the national and international levels; and the action of the judicial system and the subsequent extradition of their leaders. Similarly, the transformation of the FARC guerrilla into a political party is already facing numerous challenges: a low level of popularity among voters; the unresolved legal situation of its commanders who are facing trials on the JEP and extradition requests; and security threats and personal attacks on party members. In this context, the ANR may contribute to the development of citizenship at the individual level in the creation of a social contract through the enabling of access and interpretive democratic mechanisms in two forms: on the one hand, in the integration of agreement on political participation in its mission and practice; on the other, in strengthening the access to, and resignification of, the democratic mechanisms already in place.
