| description | The article analyzes the process of de-securitization and securitization of drug trafficking in Colombia and the influence of the Peace Agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP) on this process. To this end, the concept of “securitization”, developed by the Copenhagen School, is used as a theoretical approach. Through the Political Discourse Analysis (PDA) method, the speech acts of the administrations of Santos and Duque are analyzed, in order to identify the justifications for the decisions they made and changes in their approach to the fight against illicit drugs. It is concluded that the Peace Agreement was an attempt to de-securitize the strategy to fight drug trafficking in Colombia, given that it highlighted the political dimension of that illegal market and urged the State to promote a comprehensive solution beyond the military strategy and the threat to national security. |

El artículo analiza el proceso de desecuritización y securitización del narcotráfico en Colombia y la influencia del Acuerdo de Paz entre el gobierno colombiano y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC-EP) en este proceso. Para ello, se utiliza como enfoque teórico el concepto de securitización desarrollado por la Escuela de Copenhague. A través del método de Análisis Político del Discurso (APD), se contemplan los actos de habla de las administraciones Santos y Duque, a fin de identificar las justificaciones para las decisiones que tomaron y los cambios de enfoque de estas en la lucha contra las drogas ilícitas. Se concluye que el Acuerdo de Paz fue un intento de desecuritización de la estrategia de lucha contra el narcotráfico en Colombia, dado que intentó resaltar la dimensión política de un mercado ilegal como este e instó al Estado a propender por una solución integral más allá del combate militar y la amenaza a la seguridad nacional. O artigo analisa o processo de dessecuritização e securitização do narcotráfico na Colômbia e a influência do Acordo de Paz entre o governo colombiano e as Forças Armadas Revolucionárias da Colômbia (FARC-EP) sobre este processo. Para isso, o conceito de “securitização” desenvolvido pela Escola de Copenhague é usado como uma abordagem teórica. Através do método da Análise do Discurso Político (APD), os "atos de fala" das administrações Santos e Duque, a fim de identificar as justificações das decisões que tomaram e as mudanças na sua abordagem na luta contra as drogas ilícitas. Os autores concluem que o Acordo de Paz foi uma tentativa de dessecuritizar a estratégia de combate ao narcotráfico na Colômbia, destacando a dimensão política de um mercado ilegal como esse e instando o Estado a promover uma solução abrangente além do combate militar e da ameaça à segurança nacional.
