ALVAREZ CALDERON, Carlos Enrique  y  RODRIGUEZ BELTRAN, Carlos Andrés. Criminal ecosystems: habitats for convergence and deviant globalization. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.24, pp.5-30. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.352.

Transnational organized crime is perhaps one of the most challenging threats to government institutions. Therefore, understanding the power dynamics between actors outside the law and the population of particular urban and rural sectors is one of the most critical national security and defense concerns. This article proposes the application of a series of concepts derived from theories of the natural sciences to understand how, in some regions of Colombia, criminal activities have been perpetuated, which threaten the multidimensional security of the State, activities whose structure has, on some occasions, has supplanted the State in its functions.

Palabras clave : convergence; deviant globalization; ecosystems; empty space; transnational organized crime.
