DUNCAN, Gustavo. A political approach on Pablo Escobar. Co-herencia [online]. 2013, vol.10, n.19, pp.235-262. ISSN 1794-5887.

This paper deals with the political nature of mafias that protect drug trafficking from a broadly mentioned but poorly studied aspect in the same concept of mafia, namely, the articulation of interests of diverse social groups within their protection offer. Both types of mafias, the ones that enjoy social control and the ones that do not enjoy major social interaction, aims to impose decisions favorable to their interests. The big difference is that decisions of the former ones tend to consider the social structure transformed by drug trafficking. Any attempt to repress these mafias means now an attack to the structural interests of diverse social groups. A specific case is used to illustrate this political approach on mafia: the war of Pablo Escobar against the Colombian state.
