Sept 2005
This paper is devoted to the description of the paramilitary intent of establishing a distinct social order in a specific region
of Colombia (Puerto Boyaca and its hinterland) and the way in which it coexisted and interacted with state structures. It seeks to understand how and why such structures
and political order co-evolve and how such evolution was related to the type of provision of security offered by the State and other actors.
