"As the Samper government was rocked by allegations of drug-related corruption in the presidential campaign of 1994, Colombia's endemic crisis of governability, violence, and political participation took a dramatic turn for the worse. Moreover, Colombia/US bilateral relations degenerated into mutual accusations and recriminations. In this book, several of Colombia's leading political analysts assess this crisis and its implications for the maintainance of political stability and consolidation of democracy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

En este libro se trata de analizar de manera comparada el regimen politico colombiano, como democracia sui generis, sirviendose de las categorias asociadas a los regimenes de excepcion; igualmente, se trata de avanzar en un analisis sobre la combinacion singular de fenomenos que tiene lugar en el territorio nacional y que se presentan como una irrupcion poliforme de violencia.
