I used the CLACLS Summer Travel Fellowship to go to Colombia to finalize my field research on the Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) program with the FARC rebel group. I visited three demobilization camps and interviewed 100 FARC ex-combatants. I also interviewed the former President of Colombia, a FARC Congressman, senior officials at the UN Verification Mission in Colombia, an official at the governmental agency responsible for DDR, and the researchers at a DDR-focused think-tank. The interviews and the research in the demobilization camps helped me produce a theory of DDR success or failure on the subnational level. I have built a dataset of all the camps with 25 explanatory variables to explain why demobilization has been more successful in certain parts of the country. I am currently writing the chapter in my dissertation that explains DDR on the subnational level. I am grateful for the fellowship; it allowed me to conduct field research on an understudied topic in inaccessible areas of Colombia.
