Society-state capabilities for local democracy in contexts of violence in Colombia and Mexico By analysing case studies in Colombia and Mexico, I argue that, in contexts where social pacts have been broken, civil society is not a passive victim of violent conflicts. Responses, resistances and adaptations are being configured that offer opportunities for building new social balances and alternative practices for local democracy together with state authorities. The development of these local responses which I term society-state capabilities or socio-state capabilities is a result of collective action initiated by civil society; it can break down the entrenched institutional inertia of collusion and tolerance of state agents with criminal organizations and conditions of structural injustice by creating innovative institutional capabilities. Local contexts characterized by dispossession and threatened by violent depredation of natural resources have been successfully transformed through new society-state capabilities, configuring revitalized practices of local democracy. Resumen A traves del analisis de estudios de caso en Colombia y Mexico, argumento que en contextos donde se han roto los pactos sociales la sociedad civil no es victima pasiva de los conflictos violentos, ya que configura respuestas, resistencias y adaptaciones que ofrecen oportunidades para la construccion de nuevos equilibrios sociales y practicas alternativas de democracia local junto a las autoridades estatales. En estas respuestas locales se desarrollan lo que denomino como capacidades sociedad-estado o capacidades socio-estatales, resultado de la accion colectiva como iniciativa de la sociedad civil, que logra romper arraigadas inercias institucionales de connivencia y permisividad de agentes estatales con organizaciones criminales y condiciones de injusticia estructural, configurando innovaciones institucionales. A traves de la generacion de las nuevas capacidades socio-estatales se han logrado transformar entornos locales, caracterizados por el despojo y la amenaza de depredacion violenta de los recursos naturales, configurando practicas renovadoras de democracia local.
