摘要

In 1991, after a turbulent decade, Colombia changed its political constitution to respond to the challenges the country faced because of the political violence coming from the communist guerrillas and the common violence existing in the country and coming from the Medellín cartel, under Pablo Escobar’s leadership. The transformations did not occur in a linear manner, as some accounts of the Constitution present, but they were the result of alliances and creation of networks between the legal and the illegal world. The political transformation in the country lacked a central pivotal root and had multiple centers of action, which met to produce the document we have today. In this text I hope to show how different social actors intervened to produce this radical change in Colombian law, with the aim of regularizing the war and achieving peace.
