Abstract
ESPINOSA MENENDEZ, Nicolás; MOJICA NORENA, Michelle; MARTAN TAMAYO, Lucía and GARCES, Christian. FEATURES FOR A METHODOLOGY WHICH ALLOWS THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE REASONS OF THE REGIONAL SUCCESS AND FAILURE BEHIND THE TERRITORIAL CONTROL OF FARC-EP: THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE QUALITATIVE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS (csQCA). Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.2, pp.339-369. ISSN 1657-8031.
The following article contains the methodological proposal of a piece of research that was carried out in order to give an account of the reasons which explain the different presence that, at the territorial level, the FARC express, at the end of the 1998 - 2010 period. That was a time in which the counterinsurgency strategy of the Colombian State even though it managed to move the guerrillas in some regions of the country, in others did not. The methodological perspective, which is posed here, proposes an analytical strategy to identify, to define, and to understand the causes of the regional diversity of the geography of the war in Colombia. Such a strategy has shifted from a comparative perspective based on a model developed by the political science called Set of Variables for Qualitative Comparative Analysis (csQCA in its acronym in English, crips set of Qualitative Comparative Analysis).
