This article analyses the phenomena of territorial control that is carried on by small scale drug trafficking groups in Latin American cities. It shows that existing publications on this topic take for granted what “territorial control” is, but end up referring to different social processes. Leaning in the concepts of territory, territoriality and territorialization, the author defines which elements shape the different modalities of territorial control implemented by small scale drug trafficking groups. In this way, he provides an analytical tool composed by different indicators: who are the subjects controlled by drug gangs, what is the extension, modality and objectives of territorial control and how do these groups influence political and associative life as well as other spheres of everyday life of the communities in which they are located. |

El presente artículo analiza el fenómeno del control territorial llevado a cabo por parte de grupos criminales que se dedican al narcomenudeo en barrios de las ciudades latinoamericanas. Demuestra que las publicaciones sobre el tema asumen que existe una definición clara de “control territorial”, pero terminan por referirse a procesos sociales diferentes. Apoyándose en los conceptos de territorio, territorialidad y territorialización, el autor define los elementos que conforman las diferentes modalidades de control territorial que llevan a cabo las bandas del narcomenudeo. De esa manera, brinda una herramienta de análisis compuesta por diferentes indicadores: quiénes son los sujetos controlados por las bandas, cuál es la extensión, modalidad y objetivos del control territorial y de qué manera dichos grupos influencian la vida política, asociativa y otras esferas de la cotidianeidad de las comunidades en las cuales están situados.
