The involved actors were examined, with a focus on their incentives for the ongoing war and gains from it. As a result of the analysis, a conclusion of the applicabilit of the new wars concept to the Colombian case has been made, highlighting all the respective features. Based on these findings, the paper presents ideas to find a way out, according to the new wars theory.A notion of war has developed overtime, and toda the concept of new wars has become widely spread and discussed within the academic community.
