La regionalización en Colombia también se decanta por el modelo francés

Abstract

The strength of a State is found in its institutions, a balanced mixed of nationalism, legitimate, democratic, and equitable power, as well as in a form of organization of the territory that includes these elements. However, it also necessary that the State can manage its’ own dimensions, achieving a balance between the size of the population, the territory, and its resources. Unfortunately, Colombia’s most noticeable weakness lies in the fact that it hasn’t been able to find a model tailored to its needs. The 1991 Constitution offers alternatives to regions, but it is of equivocal nature: it is not clear what territorial model it is aiming for. After a prolonged struggle, the country seems to be pointing towards the French regional State model, that is, a unitary state, but with administrative decentralization at the regional level, thus leading to the emergence of a new territorial entity with its own needs and requirements
