The Deontologization of the State Nomos through the Rhizomatic Transformation of a criminogenic ethnic group: Gun-related Chrematistics as a substantial determinant of post-conflict Heterotopia in Colombia's Political Space
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The present study is a comprehensive political economic and metaphysical analysis of the architecture and prospects for the development of the shadow arms market in Colombia as a rhizomatic system. The paper identifies and systematizes the fundamental determinants that constitute this phenomenon: the historical permanence of low-intensity conflict, the erosion of the state monopoly on legitimate violence, and the structural transnationalization of criminal economies. Special attention is paid to the study of the symbiotic co-evolution of the arms market with parallel illegal markets, where weapons function as a universal equivalent of value and an instrument of power rent in an institutional vacuum. Within the framework of the research, a multilevel model has been developed that demonstrates the recursive links between hybrid sovereignty, a self-replicating conflict ecosystem and the socio-cultural normalization of violence. Based on the analysis, a detailed forecast of the segment's development is presented, indicating a high probability of its further autonomization, technologization and final institutionalization as a neo-feudal order, which leads to irreversible degradation of statehood and the establishment of the "right of the strong" as the basic regulator of public relations.
