MUNOZ-ONOFRE, Darío. Rationalities of government in the midst and through the recent war in Colombia. univ.humanist. [online]. 2018, n.85, pp.375-399. ISSN 0120-4807.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.uh85.rgmg.

The research results that I present in this article refer to the analysis of four rationalities of government that were deployed in Colombia with the radicalization of the war in 2002 and during the rest of the decade: polarizing the conflict, guaranteeing sovereignty, managing a population favorable to war, and securing transnational investment. I recognize the normalization mechanisms of war and the management of its acceptability in public opinion, as a singular form of government based on a heterogeneous archive of historical practices, which do not focus exclusively on the State. Finally, I define the scopes of this analysis and propose some of the challenges we currently face in the country as to advance in the final end to the war.

Keywords : war in Colombia; governmentality; democratic security; political rationalities; standardization; Farc.
