          Abstract

          Resumen. Desde la desmovilización de las AUC y las FARC-EP, en Colombia han aparecido varios actores armados que se han distanciado de las lógicas de insurgencia-paramilitarismo que dominaron los análisis de la guerra en el país. Sin embargo, algunos de estos grupos también han asumido discursos políticos que cuestionan la denominación de criminales que hacen algunos sectores políticos y académicos. Este artículo busca ir más allá de estas discusiones mediante la categoría de grupos armados politizados (GAP). Para ello, se elabora un estudio de caso de las Autodefensas Gaitanistas de Colombia, la organización armada más grande activa en Colombia. Se analizan los discursos publicados por la organización para entender su proceso de politización, a la vez que se explica su dimensión criminal.

          Abstract. Since the demobilization of the AUC and the FARC-EP, several armed actors have emerged in Colombia that have distanced themselves from the insurgency-paramilitary logic that dominated the analysis of the war in the country. However, some of these groups have also assumed political discourses that question the denomination of criminals by some political and academic sectors. This article seeks to go beyond these discussions through the politicized armed groups (GAP) category. To this end, a case study of the Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, the largest armed organization active in Colombia, is elaborated. The organizations published discourses are analyzed, in order to understand its politicization process, while explaining its criminal dimension.

          Demystifying Content Analysis

          Objective. In the course of daily teaching responsibilities, pharmacy educators collect rich data that can provide valuable insight into student learning. This article describes the qualitative data analysis method of content analysis, which can be useful to pharmacy educators because of its application in the investigation of a wide variety of data sources, including textual, visual, and audio files. Findings. Both manifest and latent content analysis approaches are described, with several examples used to illustrate the processes. This article also offers insights into the variety of relevant terms and visualizations found in the content analysis literature. Finally, common threats to the reliability and validity of content analysis are discussed, along with suitable strategies to mitigate these risks during analysis. Summary. This review of content analysis as a qualitative data analysis method will provide clarity and actionable instruction for both novice and experienced pharmacy education researchers.

            States, the security sector, and the monopoly of violence : A new database on pro-government militias

            This article introduces the global Pro-Government Militias Database (PGMD). Despite the devastating record of some pro-government groups, there has been little research on why these forces form, under what conditions they are most likely to act, and how they affect the risk of internal conflict, repression, and state fragility. From events in the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria and the countries of the Arab Spring we know that pro-government militias operate in a variety of contexts. They are often linked with extreme violence and disregard for the laws of war. Yet research, notably quantitative research, lags behind events. In this article we give an overview of the PGMD, a new global dataset that identifies pro-government militias from 1981 to 2007. The information on pro-government militias (PGMs) is presented in a relational data structure, which allows researchers to browse and download different versions of the dataset and access over 3,500 sources that informed the coding. The database shows the wide proliferation and diffusion of these groups. We identify 332 PGMs and specify how they are linked to government, for example via the governing political party, individual leaders, or the military. The dataset captures the type of affiliation of the groups to the government by distinguishing between informal and semi-official militias. It identifies, among others, membership characteristics and the types of groups they target. These data are likely to be relevant to research on state strength and state failure, the dynamics of conflict, including security sector reform, demobilization and reintegration, as well as work on human rights and the interactions between different state and non-state actors. To illustrate uses of the data, we include the PGM data in a standard model of armed conflict and find that such groups increase the risk of civil war.
