“…With the war in Iraq and Syria, much research has been done on disengagement from Islamist groups, with this research coming to dominate the field (Chernov Hwang, 2015; Clubb, 2009, Cronin, 2006). 1 Case studies are rarer, limited mostly to right-wing fringe groups and gangs (Bjørgo and Horgan, 2009), disengagement from communist groups (Codaccioni, 2013; Cuadros, 2013), groups in Côte d’Ivoire (Montaz and Diallo, 2021), or other pathways for former combatants in postconflict contexts (Boutron, 2015, 2019; Calveiro, 2014; Debos, 2008; Duclos, 2010). Some studies have focused on emotions as a tool for analyzing exits from these groups (Larzillière et al, 2021).…”

While the involvement in terrorist organizations and social movements has generated a plethora of literature, little work exists on the exit from these two types of collectives. In order to grasp the plurality of factors involved in these processes, we based ourselves on an empirical sociological survey of 64 activists of the Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan (PKK). This party experienced a major wave of departures from the guerrilla movement in the early 2000s. The micro-sociological study of desistance trajectories make it possible to develop a relevant explanatory model of disengagement combining attention to diachronicity, the identification of micro-level turning points and meso-level windows of opportunity. After recalling the conditions under which the survey was carried out, we will show how desistance brings into play a certain relationship to time, key moments which, in the case of the PKK, concern not so much state repression as the internal dysfunctions of the party, as well as the “possibilities” that open up for the actors, either during moments of the party restructuraction or in civilian life.

“…Although the participation of women in the FARC-EP, particularly at command level, falls short of the experience of other insurgent groups (Alison, 2003(Alison, , 2011Boutron, 2013Boutron, , 2015Knapp et al, 2016;Szekely, 2020;White, 2015), it was still very significant. Among guerrilla ranks, 33% of combatants were women (UNAL, 2017).…”

The unspoken red-line in Colombia: Gender reordering of women ex-combatants and the transformative peace agenda

Academic perspectives on women in conflict have been consistently moving away from the reductionist narrative of victimhood or deviation from gender norms. Yet, this narrative is still predominant in humanitarian discourses, while it is assumed that women’s participation in peacebuilding derives from their natural proclivities. These narratives, we argue, reinforce the gendered patriarchal post-conflict order as ex-combatant women are pushed into traditional roles through reintegration processes without addressing gendered structural and systemic violence. This article is based on the Colombian case, where a peace agreement in 2016 marked the official end to decades of conflict between FARC-EP rebels and the government. While deep changes were promised, the reality for women ex-combatants has been – despite unprecedented levels of women’s participation – a reordering into traditional roles and a reinforcement of conjugal order rather than a transformative progression towards peacetime emancipation. We argue that, while the government claimed that the economic and political systems were non-negotiable red-lines, there was also another unspoken red-line: that of gender roles. This article argues that addressing the gendered structural roots of conflicts in order to build sustainable peace requires a decisive participation of women, including former rebel combatants whose potential contribution to transformative peacebuilding are often ignored.
