Abstract

In recent years, we have been witness to the proliferation of scientific articles that uphold an explaining position of the nature and violence exerted by insurgencies no longer focused on political or social factors, but rather, in those other economic. The aim in these lines is to expose a different approach none inspired by the greed and the predation of public and private property resulting from the conflict. Conversely, we understand that this is the result of a rational choice that an insurgent group agrees when its survival is threatened and it loses its monopoly on the population that sought support for his cause.
