Abstract

En este artículo describo y explico los principales factores de la estructura de oportunidad política que posibilitaron la formación de un ciclo de protestas y una espiral de violencia que se suscitaron en la ciudad de Guadalajara, Jalisco, en el contexto de la Tercera Cumbre América Latina y el Caribe-Unión Europea en mayo de 2004. Para esto, expongo el marco teórico utilizado (I), presento sucintamente los principales factores político-estructurales que condicionaron la realización del ciclo de manifestaciones de protesta en la ciudad de Guadalajara, Jalisco, (II) y reviso las estrategias contenciosas de los manifestantes “altermundistas” y la respuesta de la política local a las protestas que configuraron un campo de movilizaciones y de conflicto, lo que devino en un episodio de violencia política el 28 de mayo de 2004(III).

Alternate abstract:

In order to explore the relationship between political violence and social protest, this paper deals with the subject matter from the theoretical perspective of the political process and the mobilization of resources in a case study: the alterglobalist mobilizations in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco in the context of the III Summit of the Heads of State and Government of Latin America, Europe and the Caribbean (alcuE) in May of 2004. Through a qualitative research design, it analyzes the complex interrelationship between the organizations and globalist collectives, their cultural frames and history of contention, and the dynamics of the local political process, in order to understand how these factors influenced the dynamics of the protest events and conditioned the episodes of political violence in its two main forms: physical and symbolic.
