%X abstract: the aim of this article is to offer an analysis of the peace policies of uribe v¨¦lez£¿s government and their effects on colombian democratic institutions and political culture. i will not evaluate directly if the said peace policies were successful in ending the internal political conflict of colombia, but rather to show that the link between a weak institutional democracy, such as colombia`s, the great influence of uribe v¨¨lez`s personality in the political imaginary and his projects of democratic security and of a communitarian state, in so far as these projects were part of his peace policies. the central thesis i defend in this article is that precisely colombia`s democratic weakness enabled that a policy such as ¨¢lvaro uribe`s in relation to peace was supported by a large part of the population, even though this policy instead of strengthening democracy weakened more its institutions and political culture.
