ECHANDIA CASTILLA, Camilo. VIOLENCE AGAINST TRADE UNIONISTS IN COLOMBIA'S ARMED CONFLICT. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.29, pp.103-124. ISSN 0124-5996.

ABSTRACT The study of violence against trade unionists in the middle of the Colombian armed conflict is relevant because it reveals armed groups selective and systematic use of violence to weaken, neutralize, break up or counteract social organizations; reduce their ability to put pressure on or convene meetings; limit their requests or claims, and consequently limiting their possibilities to act. The reduction of trade unionist homicides in the last years is a clear consequence of the changes in the dynamics of the armed conflict. This is related, on the one hand, to paramilitary groups' demobilization of parts of its armed component; and on the other hand, to the retreat of the guerrillas and the withdrawal of paramilitary groups in disputed areas. The commonly called "criminal gangs" carry out homicides but at moderate levels.

Palabras clave : union; violence; armed conflict; guerrillas; paramilitaries; homicides; Colombia.
