    La capacidad coercitiva del Estado central y la presencia violenta de actores armados no estatales
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Herrera Jaramillo, Juan David; Mustafá Silva, Nayua; Fortou Reyes, José Antonio
    This article addresses the effect of the central State’s coercive capacity in the presence of non-state armed actors in Antioquia. To do this, we selected and classified 89 municipalities into nine groups according to their coercive capacity, from lowest to highest, then we crossed them with the variable of violent presence of non-state armed actors from 2012 to 2017. The results coincide with the theoretical postulates of authors such as Tilly (1977), Hendrix (2015) and Sepp (2005), according to which the weakness of a State, in its repressive dimension, can become an opportunity for contenders to challenge its alleged monopoly of legitimate physical violence. And likewise, its strength becomes a deterrent. In this sense, the empirical evidence shows that the Antioquia municipalities with the greatest coercive capacity have, on average, fewer acts of violent presence by non-state armed actors.
