The Peripherialization of Colombian Armed Conflict, 2002-2014
Keywords:

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to reflect on a process defined as peripheralization, that explains the spatial changes experienced by the violence of the armed conflict in Colombia between 2002 and 2014. These changes focus on the northeast and the southwest. That is, scenarios away from the decision-making centers in the country, which have lower levels of economic and social development, but with an important strategic value for the presence of illicit crops or greater guerrilla activism. Thus, Political Geography is claimed as a discipline that facilitates understanding of the dynamics of violence and the possibilities of peace building, especially given the current process of dialogue with the FARC and ELN.Downloads
