Abstract

The historical tradition of violence is one of the most important elements that give the Colombian political process uniqueness within Latin America. Although violence has been recurrent on a continental level, Colombia has suffered from this phenomenon in a quasi-permanent way. Despite this, the various phases of violence that can be found in the history of Colombia seem to have determinants such as its local character. Violence in Colombia is "national" and does not originate from external factors. However, it must be borne in mind that Colombian violence, particularly the "modern" one, has some international "dimensions". There are external elements that "feed" domestic violence even though they do not cause it, which must be taken into account in government policies designed to promote peace.
