Abstract

This article discusses the issue of inclusion in peace negotiations, in particular the Colombian peace process with the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionárias de Colombia, with special emphasis to a perceived tension between “direct” and “indirect” inclusive initiatives. It argues that, as currently discussed by the Peace and Conflict literature, inclusion tends to be seen as neutral and benign, which leaves little room for critical discussions about the political contention behind peace negotiations deemed “inclusive.” It thus proposes to discuss inclusion through the theoretical lens of political representation and apply such reflections to the specific case of the Colombian victims’ delegations that travelled to Havana in 2014 in order to take part in the table’s discussions on the victims and transitional justice topic. Ultimately, I will argue there was simultaneous utilisation and rejection of the language of representation.

和平谈判中的包容性和政治代表性:哥伦比亚受害者代表团的案例
本文讨论了和平谈判的包容性问题,特别是哥伦比亚与哥伦比亚武装力量Revolucionárias的和平进程,特别强调了“直接”和“间接”包容性倡议之间的紧张关系。它认为,正如目前和平与冲突文献所讨论的那样,包容性往往被视为中立和良性的,这使得对被视为“包容性”的和平谈判背后的政治争论进行批判性讨论的空间很小。因此,委员会建议通过政治代表性的理论视角讨论包容问题,并将这种思考应用于哥伦比亚受害者代表团的具体案例,这些代表团于2014年前往哈瓦那,参加圆桌关于受害者和过渡时期司法主题的讨论。最后,我将论证对表征语言的利用和拒绝是同时存在的。
