Abstract

On November 24th 2016 a Peace Agreement was signed between the Colombian Government and FARC-EP. This put an end to a conflict that has lasted for more than 50 years. The signature of the Peace Agreement not only ended hostilities but tried to open a gate to social reforms that embedded the origin of the conflict. Three years later progress in much of the intended reforms has been rather limited and there are still present much of the root causes of the conflict. To social and political unrest, it could be added the presence of armed organized groups that overlap and complement their activities to those performed by other actors related to transnational organized crime, hampering the security of Colombia in the framework of an Insurgence Crime model. A combination of all the above mentioned factors is the focus of unrest and lack of security that generate some doubts about the viability of the peace process in Colombia in a medium and long term.
