Abstract
RODRIGUEZ VILLABONA, Andrés Abel and REYES BELTRAN, Pablo Ignacio. Re-Thinking Corruption in Colombia. The Phenomenon of Configured State Capture and Co-Optation. Novum Jus [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.2, pp.147-170. Epub Nov 22, 2023. ISSN 1692-6013. https://doi.org/10.14718/novumjus.2023.17.2.6.
This article seeks to identify, from a sociological-legal perspective, how corruption did not end with the end of the armed conflict but continues to be a structural problem in socio-political relations in Colombia. In this sense, it seeks to establish the need to study new dimensions of analysis as well as approaches to definitive or structural solutions to problems parallel to the armed conflict rooted in society's sociocultural relations associated with the phenomenon of corruption. Corruption is structured in the socio-political and socio-economic relations of the population, given the rupture and lack of trust between individuals and between individuals and state institutions, where this divorce fosters new forms of violence associated with the capture, co-optation, and reconfigured co-optation of the state.
