This article analyzes the academic production related to the processes of collective action, social mobilization and territorial defense in Colombia during the last two decades (2000-2020). A context of social, political, and economic conflict is taken as a starting point. Beginning with the Democratic Security policy and ending with the implementation of the peace agreements with the FARC. This work is supported by theoretical references typical of the study of collective action, social movements, and territorial defense, both from the classical Anglo-Saxon tradition, as well as the contemporary Latin American one. The analysis is based on a documentary, relational and spatial methodology, which includes the review of doctoral works done in Colombia, and articles in academic journals on a global scale. The above evidences the growth in the amount of this type of work, its main themes as well as its gray areas, also the spatial distribution of the case studies addressed.

Keywords : collective action; social mobilizations; territorial defense; academic production; documentary analysis; Colombia.
