THE COLOSA MINE IN CAJAMARCA TOLIMA, COLOMBIA) CASE STUDY. Luna Azul [online]. 2017, n.44, pp.165-176. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2017.44.10.

The description of a socio-environmental conflict serves as the analytical framework of this article. It is a mining project carried out in The Colosa Mine located in the municipality of Cajamarca (Tolima) in Colombia. First, the different theoretical positions concerning the socio-environmental conflict from legal, social and environmental theories are conceptualized. Different social, economic and political dimensions of the conflict are also analyzed focusing on the description of the case under study. Secondly, relevant problematic issues about the legitimacy of certain norms and social legitimacies emerge from the analyzed case study. Finally, it is concluded that the scope of the legitimacy pursued by the rules as well as the institutional aspects representing the State go beyond the simple compliance of the norms. Legitimacy is achieved through the acceptance on the part of the partners and its correspondence with social perceptions

Keywords : Socio-environmental conflict; legitimacy of rules; social legitimacies.
