Abstract
SILVA-OJEDA, David Alonso. From War to Post-Agreement: Political and Institutional Legacies of Rebel Governance in Post-farc Territories. Desafíos [online]. 2023, vol.35, n.2, pp.1-28. Epub Oct 11, 2023. ISSN 0124-4035. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/desafios/a.13134.
This article explores the political and institutional legacies of rebel governance in a context in which, after the demobilization of the farc-ep, there was no reconfiguration of the dynamics of presence and violence developed by legal and illegal armed actors. I argue that from the rebel governance built by the insurgency and the local community boards (jals) there emerged social processes that held, even after the signing of the Peace Agreement, and influenced the way in which local orders were reconstructed following the farc’s exit from the area. The paper presents a case study of San Andrés de Tello-a rural locality in the north of Huila, Colombia, with historic farc presence--based on ethnographic fieldwork that privileged contact with key informants and concrete observations. This work contributes to the understanding of the legacies of rebel governance and how it is possible to use them to generate participatory processes of state formation that incorporate communal institutions as protagonists in the configuration of community governance in regions with a differentiated presence of the State.
