trazos para una metodología que permita comprender las razones de éxito y fracaso regional del control territorial de las farc-ep / features for a methodology which allows the understanding of the reasons of the regional success and failure behind the territorial control of farc-ep: the perspective of the qualitative comparative analysis (csqca)

RESUMEN

El siguiente artículo recoge la propuesta metodológica de una investigación que se formuló con el propósito de dar cuenta de las razones que explican la diferente presencia que, a nivel territorial, expresan las Farc al término del periodo 1998-2010, tiempo en que la estrategia contrainsurgente del estado colombiano si bien logró desplazar a esta guerrilla de algunas regiones del país, en otras no lo consiguió. La perspectiva metodológica aquí planteada propone una estrategia analítica para identificar, definir y comprender las causas de la diversidad regional de la geografía de la guerra en Colombia. Tal estrategia se enfocó desde una óptica comparada a partir de un modelo desarrollado por la ciencia política denominado Conjunto de Variables para el Análisis Comparativo Cualitativo (csQCA en sus siglas en inglés, crips set of Qualitative Comprative Analysis).

ABSTRACT

The following article contains the methodological proposal of a piece of research that was carried out in order to give an account of the reasons which explain the different presence that, at the territorial level, the FARC express, at the end of the 1998 – 2010 period. That was a time in which the counterinsurgency strategy of the Colombian State even though it managed to move the guerrillas in some regions of the country, in others did not. The methodological perspective, which is posed here, proposes an analytical strategy to identify, to define, and to understand the causes of the regional diversity of the geography of the war in Colombia. Such a strategy has shifted from a comparative perspective based on a model developed by the political science called Set of Variables for Qualitative Comparative Analysis (csQCA in its acronym in English, crips set of Qualitative Comparative Analysis).
