SALAS SALAZAR, Luis Gabriel. Territorial Logics and Power Relations in the Space of Armed Actors: A Contribution to the Study of Violence and Armed Conflict in Colombia, 1990-2012, from the Perspective of Political Geography. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.1, pp.157-172. ISSN 0121-215X. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v24n1.47777.
The article analyzes the territorial logics and power relations of the actors of the Colombian armed conflict between 1990 and 2012, from the perspective of political geography. These factors are made evident in armed, military actions, coercion and violence against civilians, and efforts to seize control of local power. On the basis of the analysis of the spatial densities of the events of the armed conflict, the study shows that the differential spatial impact of the armed conflict and the violence registered in Colombia can be explained by the geostrategic importance of the territories for the actors involved: presence of illicit crops, natural resources, and illegal economies, or their location in areas that facilitate communication both within the country and abroad.
