Organización armada. El proceso de toma de decisiones de los grupos de autodefensa tepalcatepenses

Abstract: ResumenEste artículo contribuye a llenar un vacío en la investigación académica sobre grupos armados en México en el contexto de la guerra contra las drogas: el de las autodefensas de Michoacán. En particular, interesa saber cómo se estructuró el proceso de toma de decisiones dentro de este grupo, tomando un caso de estudio, el de Tepalcatepec, durante la primera fase de su movilización. Con base en un marco teórico sistémico y a través de una metodología cualitativa, se reconstruye la cadena de decisiones org… Show more

“…Inequality also mattered. Numerous journalists and at least two scholars report that avocado, lime, and mango exporters and ranchers, as well as many shopkeepers, financed the vigilantes in Michoacán, where at least twice as many vigilante mobilizations occurred as compared to Guerrero (see figure 1) (see Guerra 2018;Wolff 2020). Large and small business proprietors-including mining, ranching, logging, and transshipment companies-financed the vigilantes because the Templarios levied taxes on their businesses and did so using the threat of arson (Felbab-Brown 2016;Althaus and Dudley 2014, 8).…”

“…Yet precisely because they see themselves as substitutes for the police-the most visible face of the state-their very existence where they emerge calls into question the state's legitimacy and its specific claim to a monopoly on coercive force (Zizumbo-Colunga 2017;990). 3 In short, the emergence of organized vigilante groups has political ramifications even when the actors involved do not share an ideology or have policy goals (Goldstein 2003;Tankebe 2009;Guerra 2018).…”

“…The literature on self-defense bands has centered on explaining the armed insurgency as a response to extortion by organized crime (Fuentes Díaz, 2018), as a form of organization (Guerra, 2018), as a product of economic inequity (Phillips, 2016), and as a response to accumulation through dispossession implemented by state agents and criminal groups (Vite, 2016). Similarly, part of the literature has focused on accounting for the armed reaction as an effort to make the crime more comprehensible in ethical terms and defend the moral and sexual order associated with rural or rancher families (Le Cour Grandmaison, 2016; Pansters, 2018).…”

“…Dado el contexto político latinoamericano, incluyendo los procesos de dictaduras, el paramilitarismo, la corrupción y la criminalidad, estos grupos se han desarrollado con sus particularidades en distintos países, Perú, Colombia, Brasil y México, por mencionar algunos, con sus características propias de estructura, operación, alteridades, propósitos, recursos etc. En el caso de México, estos grupos autodenominados como de autodefensa, surgieron en el año 2013 en el Estado de Michoacán como respuesta a la violencia perpetrada por el narcotráfico en la región (Véase Phillips, 2017;Guerra, 2018).…”

“…La manera en la que se ha abordado el fenómeno va desde las ciencias políticas (Phillips, 2017), hasta la Sociología (Guerra, 2018), sin embargo, una particularidad en los trabajos desarrollados, independientemente de la disciplina, es que escasean los trabajos que han problematizado los fenómenos de grupos de civiles armados considerando una perspectiva de género, haciendo énfasis en el papel de las mujeres en estos movimientos sociales.…”
