Abstract

ZEIDERMAN, Austin  and  RAMIREZ ELIZALDE, Laura Astrid. "Apocalypse foretold": a shift in the politics of risk in Colombia since 1985. rev.ing. [online]. 2010, n.31, pp.119-131. ISSN 0121-4993.

This article proposes to investigate the emergence of risk management and disaster prevention in Colombian national and municipal policy, focusing on the city of Bogotá and using a methodology that combines historical and anthropological approaches. We establish its temporal framework as beginning in 1985, since the conjuncture that occurred in November of that year with the tragedy of Armero and the siege of the Palacio de Justicia just one week before generated, in the domain of political culture, a new emphasis on the issue of risk.

Keywords : Colombia; history; political culture; prevention; public policy; risk management.
