ROJAS USMA, Didiher Mauricio. Post-Insurgent Political Incorporation in Colombia, 1991-2019. Extra-Systemic Actors and the Party System. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2020, n.59, pp.303-328. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n59a13.

This article makes a spatial analysis of the Colombian party system during the period 1991-2019, with particular emphasis on the incorporation of extra-systemic actors via negotiation and peace agreements. The spatiotemporal delimitation is established between the promulgation of the Political Constitution of 1991, which marked the change from the Colombian bipartisan system to a multiparty one, and the signing of the Peace Agreement at the Teatro Colón with the FARC-EP. Methodologically, the article takes up the Gary Hoskin (1990) one-dimensional spatial analysis technique (left-right) but suggests the integration of a new axis (high-low) for the study of partisan political space from multiple poles (Ostiguy, 2009). The central argument of the article is that the progressive incorporation of extra-systemic insurgent actors through the life of post-insurgent political parties (Holland, 2016) has allowed the appearance of a multipolar political space previously invisible and disabled by the war dynamics and the prolonged violence. Likewise, this multipolar political space opens the door to the analysis of the Colombian party system in the national and subnational levels.
