ABSTRACT

This analysis considers two contrasting trajectories of coercive and illegal land accumulation across two northern Colombian municipalities in wartime. Together they reveal how the state established strategic alliances of indirect rule with paramilitaries, local elites and non-local investors. In return, these groups gained access to institutions and incentives, using them to undertake processes of massive and rapid land accumulation. How these strategies of indirect rule interact with the agrarian structures of the rural territories – as well as the changing dynamics of war – is crucial to understanding the varying patterns of land accumulation seen in contexts affected by protracted armed conflict.

摘要

该分析考虑了战时哥伦比亚北部两个城市的强制性和非法土地积累的两条对比轨迹。它们共同揭示了国家如何与准军事组织、地方精英和非地方投资者建立间接统治的战略联盟。作为回报，这些团体获得了使用制度和激励措施的机会，利用它们进行大规模和快速的土地积累过程。这些间接统治策略如何与农村地区的农业结构以及不断变化的战争动态相互作用，对于理解在受长期武装冲突影响的背景下看到的不同土地积累模式至关重要。
