Criminal Rebels? A Discussion of Civil War and Criminality from the Colombian Experience.
Abstract
The Colombian conflict seems a typical instantiation of a 鈥済reedy war鈥� and exhibits very strong links between criminal economic activities and rebel organizations. On the contrary, the author suggests that not even in Colombia does the 鈥渃riminal rebels鈥� thesis hold. On the other hand, the Colombian case shows that criminality and war mix in ways that escape a strictly economic interpretation of war.
