In: Colombia internacional, Heft 66, S. 196-199

Abstract

In a process that dates back to the 1980's, national elites have been replaced by regional ones. This process is associated with phenomenons such as state weakness, drug trafficking and paramilitarism, which produce deep social transformations that have a negative effect on Colombia's democracy, economy and moral patterns.
