Publisher Description

Abstract. This article explores the nineteenth- and twentieth-century roots of the present violence in Colombia and the main actors involved therein. Focusing on the civilian government, the Colombian military, the FARC and ELN guerrillas, and the paramilitaries, it emphasizes the chronic weakness of the state, the privatization and regionalization of conflict, the impact of the cocaine export economy, and the difficulties of coming to a peace agreement. This article also explains connections and differences between the Colombian violence of the 1950s and the current conflict, and it provides a guide to the literature authored by Colombian social scientists on the subject. Resume. Cet article explore les racines historiques de la violence actuelle en Colombie, qui datent du XIXe et du XXe siecles, et analyse le role de ses principaux acteurs. En se penchant sur le gouvernement civil, les forces armees colombiennes, les guerillas des FARC et de l'ELN ainsi que sur les paramilitaires, ce travail souligne les faiblesses chroniques de l'Etat, la privatisation et la regionalisation du conflit, l'impact de l'economie d'exportation de cocaine et les difficultes qui ont entrave le chemin vers un accord de paix.
