| Summary / Abstract (Note) | If ongoing peace talks with the FARC succeed, it is unclear what will become of the guerrilla group's illicit finance networks; who would replace the FARC in the drug-trafficking chain should they demobilise; and what would happen to their business interests in other illegal sectors. Against this backdrop, Matt Ince assesses whether a potential future peace deal with Colombia's oldest insurgent group could open the door to new sources of violence and insecurity in Colombia in the period ahead, as rival criminal organisations compete with one another to gain control over the FARC's current portfolio of illegal activities. |
