VALENCIA LOPEZ, Harold  and  ZUNIGA HERAZO, Luis A. La teoría del partisano de Carl Scdmitt y el conflicto armado en Colombia. Postdata [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.1, pp.109-131. ISSN 1851-9601.

This article shows the contribution ofCarl Schmitt's partisan theory to the understanding and analysis of the armed conflict in Colombia. The analysis seeks to incorporate elements without which a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of the Colombian conflict would be incomplete. These elements are: the important role in the degradation of the conflict ofthe presence of paramilitary groups as an irregular armed group, the breakdown of the political element in the insurgents, the illegal methods used to combat irregular confrontation, the precariousness of the state, not only to provide security and monopolize the use of force but also to meet the budgets of so-called "social state law", and the role that third parties are playing in the Colombian conflict.

Keywords : Colombia; armed conflict; Carl Schmitt-guerrilla - democracy.
