| description |
This paper makes a historical overview of the evolution of counterinsurgency in order to understand that this concept has not been rigid and static through the ages. It intends to explain why the understanding of counterinsurgency, its objectives and scope, the actors involved in its practice, and especially the legal and legitimate methods applied, are as they are conceived today. In essence, what began as the use of violence to destroy the insurgency along with its social base through all available means became a political enterprise to build state institutions in every region in a specific country. This, in order to erode the insurgency's connection with communities while providing the services required for social and economic development. It also makes an observation of one of the future dilemmas of the debate on counterinsurgency. |

El presente ensayo hace una revisión histórica de la evolución de la contrainsurgencia para entender que este concepto no ha sido rígido o estático a través de los años. Pretende explicar por qué la perspectiva existente de contrainsurgencia, sus objetivos y alcance, los actores involucrados en su práctica, y en especial, la legitimidad de los métodos aplicados, son como son en la actualidad. En esencia, lo que comenzó como el uso de la violencia para destruir directamente a las insurgencias incluyendo sus bases sociales de apoyo, a través de todos los medios disponibles, se convirtió en una empresa política para la construcción de instituciones del estado en las regiones de un país determinado. Esto, con el objetivo de erosionar la conexión entre insurgencia y comunidades, mientras se provee de los servicios necesarios para el desarrollo económico y social. Se hará también una observación de uno de los dilemas futuros para el debate de contrainsurgencia.
