abstract = {Socioeconomic  and  historical  approaches  can  contribute  to  the  understanding  of  the  relationship  between  food  security,  agricultural  trade,  and  armed  conflicts  in  developing  countries.  While  the  market-based  perspective  advocates  that  trade  is  a  useful  way  to  maintain  food  security  nationally,  other  works  suggest  that  trade liberalization and agro-export specialization have threatened food security since the 1980s, especially the self-sufficiency capacity. In Colombia, this agrarian change to agro-export specialization and food dependence has also been linked to the surge of the second wave of violence (c. 1980). Is there a dichotomy between trade and self-sufficiency during the Colombian twentieth century? Did armed conflict contribute to the specialization in agro-exports during the Second Globalization? This work contributes to the dichotomic debate between food security and agricultural trade with a more nuanced view along throughout the twentieth century and confirms a long-term relationship going from violence and international prices towards tropical specialization},
