VEGA, Luis Felipe. The Presidential System in Colombia: A Biopolitical Analyse: Rafael Nuñez and Álvaro Uribe in Comparison. Pap.polit. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.1, pp.145-183. ISSN 0122-4409.

In Colombia, the centralization of power through legal system dependency and legislative power in relation to the executive power can be considered as a historical constant since the beginning of the nation buildings process. Authoritarian regimes propound under the figure of president until end of 20th century the unsolved problem of citizenship. In this sense, it is clear that the presidential system in Colombia is permanently attached to a consolidation of image about an absolute crisis, which is based on the rationality of the government to implement more radical administrative measures. Sovereign power is embodied in these phases of Republican images in Colombia through the figures of Presidents Alvaro Uribe and Rafael Núñez. Their speeches and management practices are central to the political analysis of this article.
