PhD Project
This PhD project analyzes the impacts of the community-based reintegration process of former FARC-EP combatants in Colombia on the security of both ex-combatants and conflict-affected communities. The research’s methodology is characterized by variable-oriented case studies and mixed methods research to collect data through in-depth interviews, micro surveys, focus group discussions, and ethnographic participant observation.
The project is carried out in cooperation with the project “The Impact of the Collective Reincorporation of Former FARC-EP Fighters on the Local Reconstruction of the Social Fabric in Colombia”.
