Economía y conflicto armado en Colombia : los efectos de la globalización en la transformación de la guerra

Abstract

The armed conflict in Colombia has suffered, in the past two decades, a transformation process closely linked to the economic effects and dynamics produced by the globalization phenomenon. This has been made possible mainly by two aspects: 1. the impactof the free market model, which reconfigured the colombian state and gave in for the emergence of new factors associated with the conflict, and 2. the opportunities provided by globalization for armed actors to develop their own war economy through illegal globaleconomies and global repertoires of international security.
