ALONSO ESPINAL, Manuel Alberto. Institutional Linkages and Civil Wars in the 19th Century Colombia. Co-herencia [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.21, pp.169-190. ISSN 1794-5887.

The main objective of this article is to show some key elements about the institutional linkages in which Colombian civil wars are placed in the first half of the 19th century. Specifically, it is important to underline the consideration given, in earlier decades of the 19th century, to the demarcation of the territorial aspect by means of a constant reference to the municipal, provincial y local aspects; the delimitation of authority in a context determined by the presence of despotism; and the definition of rights through the hyper-development of laws, the defense of republicanism and the fear of the people.

Palabras clave : Colombia; 19th Century; State; civil wars; territory; authority; rights.
