Analysis of the Individual Decision in Demobilization Processes with Ex-combatants of Illegal Armed Groups in Colombia

José Alexander Herrera Contreras,

Synopsis

This research work is the result of an academic exercise initiated in 2011 with the formation of a research group called "Cuchavira, Poder, Socialización y Conocimiento” (Cuchavira, Power, Socialization, and Knowledge in English), whose members were professors linked to the School of Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities of the National Open and Distance University (UNAD for its Spanish acronym) in Colombia. As a result of the meetings and dialogues with professors in the field of social sciences, two research projects were designed and carried out: "Resignificando la Paz: Una Experiencia Educativa con Estudiantes Desmovilizados y Reinsertados de la UNAD” (Resignifying Peace: An Educational Experience with Demobilized and Reinserted Students of UNAD, in English) (2011-2013)" and "De los Avatares del Conflicto a Escenarios Posconflicto: Ruta Civil para la Construcción de una Cultura de Paz Perdurable (2014-2016)” (From the Avatars of the Conflict to Post-conflict Scenarios: Civil Route to Construct An Enduring Culture of Peace, in English). The conclusions of both researches guided the question of the subject of individual demobilization. From these considerations and within the framework of the development of the Doctoral Program in Social Sciences with the National Autonomous University of Mexico, broke through toward the construction of a research project that would address three elements: the epistemological evolution of previous research, the relevance of a social issue that crosses the political history of a Latin American country, and the theoretical contribution for social sciences.
