Abstract

Con ayuda de la teoría de la agencia, este artículo analiza los efectos del secuestro político como estrategia de largo plazo en la estructura organizativa de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, y de la larga duración de los secuestros impuesta por la decisión del gobierno de Álvaro Uribe de no aceptar el intercambio de prisioneros, que en conjunto produjeron una divergencia entre los objetivos de la cúpula y los de sus combatientes. Así, el problema de riesgo moral se hizo más fuerte y dañino con el paso del tiempo.
