How affects participation of insurgent groups in drug trafficking on peace processes? This article answers the question using two study cases: “Caguan’s Negotiations” (19982002) and “Havana’s Negotiations” (20122016). In August 2016, former President Santos signed an historic peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), ending 52 years of conflict. In this way, the profits of drug trafficking, as source of financing, impeded a negotiated solution with Pastrana’s government, becoming a critical issue during the talks that had taken place in Cuba. Therefore, this article compares negotiations of Caguán (19982002) and Havana (2012 2016), in order to help the Peace Triangle as analytical tool, seeking to show the changes in behavior and attitudes of its protagonists as a link between FARC and drug trafficking.

Keywords : Armed conflict; Drug trafficking; Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC); Peace processes.
