Tensiones del desarrollo agrario. Un análisis desde el derecho constitucional y la economía política.

Tensions of Agrarian Development. An Analysis From the Perspectives of Constitutional Law and Political Economy.

CONSTITUTIONAL law; CONSTITUTIONAL courts

El desarrollo agrario ha sido un asunto ampliamente debatido a lo largo de la historia de Colombia. Una de las instituciones que ha intervenido en este debate recientemente ha sido la Corte Constitucional, que se ha pronunciado sobre el particular a través de sus sentencias. El presente artículo analizará las sentencias C-644 de 2012, C-077 de 2017 y C-028 de 2018 a través de la exposición de dos sensibilidades que existen con respecto al desarrollo agrario y que se encuentran en tensión. Con esto se busca proponer una lectura de estas sentencias desde un marco conceptual de derecho y economía política y lo que se ha denominado la “Síntesis del Siglo XX”. Finalmente, se propondrá que es necesario que, a través del derecho constitucional, en estos casos, se analice el poder de cada individuo en el mercado para buscar un desarrollo agrario más equitativo.

Agrarian development has been a widely debated issue throughout Colombia’s history. One of the institutions that has recently intervened in this debate is the Constitutional Court, which, through its rulings, has addressed this matter. This article will analyze the rulings C-644 of 2012, C-077 of 2017, and C-028 of 2018 by presenting two perspectives on agrarian development that are in tension. The aim is to propose an interpretation of these rulings within a conceptual framework of law and political economy, and what has been termed the “Twentieth Century Synthesis.” Finally, it will argue that, in these cases, it is necessary for constitutional law to examine the power of each individual in the market in order to seek a more equitable agrarian development.
