“…During the time of my fieldwork, corruption repeatedly headlined media reports: as one of the major issues of the 2018 and 2022 presidential elections, in a nationwide anti-corruption initiative in 2018, and in a much-discussed 2020 US News report that named Colombia as the most corrupt country in the world (Grattan 2018;Kajsiu and Grisales 2019;Redacci on Pol ıtica 2018, 2020. When locals discussed these reports, corruption itself was always taken for granted.…”

How is state legitimacy established in areas where it has long been lacking? While scholars have generally explained the construction of legitimacy as a consequence of state actions and used survey research or experiments to describe local evaluations of the state, in this article I describe the microprocesses that link the two: how communities experience the state, collectively make sense of it, and behave in ways that consent to or challenge state power. Based on 3 years of ethnographic fieldwork in a rural Colombian village experiencing growing state presence after decades of armed group control, I theorize the emergence of state legitimacy or illegitimacy as a process of narrative construction. Locals facing a landmark peace process and a coca substitution program that has destroyed the local economy make sense of the state by constructing narratives about it that spread throughout the community. These narratives combine with material need to influence forms of social action that demonstrate assent to or defiance of state power—behavior that communities also understand through public narratives. Fine‐grained ethnographic description of the narrative construction of legitimacy demonstrates the importance of collective meaning‐making processes to political beliefs and behavior.

Iván Duque siempre mantuvo una posición crítica ante el Acuerdo de Paz suscrito entre el Gobierno colombiano presidido por Juan Manuel Santos y la guerrilla de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC-EP). Una vez que llega a la presidencia, en agosto de 2018, su política gubernamental, de acuerdo con todos los informes de seguimiento, ha estado caracterizada por incumplimientos, retrasos y dificultades. Así, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar de qué modo el mandatario colombiano construye, dirige y modula su discurso en función del escenario en el que se encuentra. Metodológicamente, se revisaron los veintisiete viajes al exterior que ha protagonizado entre agosto de 2018 y diciembre de 2020, de manera que se analizan los contenidos de cada una de sus comparecencias, tal y como se encuentran recogidas en el portal de la Presidencia de la República. Al observar los informes de seguimiento al Acuerdo con las FARC-EP y las comparecencias en el exterior, es te trabajo explora y analiza las contradicciones reales entre el proceso efectivo de implementación y el discurso político que se proyecta. El resultado más relevante tendrá que ver con el marcado contraste existente entre la situación precaria del Acuerdo de Paz y un discurso en el que aspectos como la reincorporación, la noción de paz con legalidad o la reducción de los cultivos ilícitos aparecen como las prioridades más destacadas en sus intervenciones fuera del país.

Objective/Context: This article has two goals. First and foremost, it seeks to demonstrate an increase in class voting during the 2018 presidential elections in Colombia compared to electoral years 2006, 2010, and 2014. Second, the article aims to develop a possible explanation of this phenomenon. We hypothesize that class voting in the 2018 presidential elections increased due to growing ideological polarization between the two presidential candidates, Iván Duque and Gustavo Petro, both in the left-right and the populist-non-populist dimensions. Methodology: We use data from the National Registry of Civil Status and maps of socio-economic stratification to identify electoral results according to social class in five main Colombian urban centres: Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, and Cartagena. To measure class voting, we develop the Index of Voting Difference (IVD), which identifies the difference in electoral behaviour between two social classes. We also compare the difference between expected and observed voting for each presidential candidate in the upper, middle, and lower classes. Conclusions: There was an evident increase in class voting in the 2018 presidential elections in Colombia compared to those of 2006, 2010, and 2014. Our analysis shows that such a phenomenon could result from an increased ideological polarization between the two principal presidential candidates, both in the left-right and populist-non-populist dimensions. Originality: This is the only article we are aware of that explores levels of class voting across different presidential elections in Colombia and the relationship between ideological polarization and class voting.
