Policy Priorities : A qualitative study considering resource effects in current reintegration policies in Colombia

The long-term process of providing ex-combatants with social, psychological, economic, and political assistance, known as reintegration, can be argued to be the most crucial part of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR). Through providing resources, reintegration policies, have the potential to reshape the landscape of political and socioeconomic opportunities in society, thereby assisting ex-combatants in reintegrating into civilian life. This thesis analyzes Colombia's reintegration policy for the 2023-2026 plan. By focusing on the beginning of the causal chain, this research identifies the resources in the policy which can reveal their potential effects on the longer causal chain. The aim is to analyze Colombia’s current reintegration policy in relation to DDR research, utilizing the policy feedback framework to assess which resources are identified as important. This analysis employs a qualitative systematic study with a focus on policy analysis using the policy feedback framework. The identified resources are categorized into three groups: social, economic, and non-material. The analysis results indicate that all resource types were found, with social resources being the most emphasized, followed by non-material and economic resources. This suggests that social resources are considered the most important in the current reintegration policy.
