Abstract

SARMIENTO E, Juan Pablo. Territory without State, the case of the stilt villages of Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2015, n.43, pp.110-157. ISSN 0121-8697.  https://doi.org/10.14482/dere.43.7475.

This study argues that in Colombia, where the state presence is lacking, communities create and recreate extra-state forms of government, allowing them to organize peaceful, politically and legally. Through the case study (the stilt villages of Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta) will expose how a society without a clearly differentiated cultural uniqueness, but where the state has been emerging, have generated different forms of local government and parallel to the legal state-legitimating organization.

Keywords : Legal pluralism; legal monism; stilt villages of Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta; extralegal law extra-state forms of government.
