Wie werden aus Rebellen politische Akteure - und warum scheitert dieser Ubergang so oft? Die Studie zeigt, dass erfolgreiche Transformationen nur gelingen, wenn die beteiligten Akteure in ihrem Zusammenspiel verstanden und gezielt einbezogen werden. Am Beispiel kolumbianischer Guerillabewegungen entwickelt sie das Bullet-to-Ballot-Modell"e;, das zentrale Bedingungen, Dynamiken und kausale Mechanismen erstmals systematisch erfasst und zugleich legale wie illegale Hindernisse sowie potenzielle Spoiler des Prozesses berucksichtigt. Durch die Verbindung von theoretischer Innovation und empirischer Analyse liefert die Arbeit ubertragbare Erkenntnisse fur Friedens- und Transformationsprozesse weltweit.
