Constitución y guerraUna revisión del sistema de derechos fundamentales de Colombia durante el siglo XX

Abstract

In the twentieth century, Colombia has always proclaimed itself a republic endowed with constitutions. But why the cult of the law historically has been accompanied by violence?. The last century began with the War of a Thousand Days and continued with the regional war in the thirties. Then came La Violencia, the revolutionary war and guerrilla warfare. In the eighties, there were the paramilitary and terrorism related to drug trafficking. Yet the legal system introduced in 1886 enjoyed great stability. In this study we reconstruct inter-disciplinary Constitutional History of Colombia to incorporate into it the armed confrontations. Through an anthropological and historiographical understanding of the culture war and constitutional cover both periods of violence as the institutions and political practices intertwined with the war. Factors that, despite being "modern" unconstitutional, are part of their real legal culture.
