AB  - Throughout its bicentennial life as an independent state, Colombia has not found the necessary stability in
its political-administrative model. During the XIX century and after a chain of civil wars, successive constitutions
alternatively centralists and federalists were promulgated. Finally in the 1886 letter of constitution the
centralism was adopted as a state paradigm. Although the model was strengthened by the national unity, it
simultaneously accentuated the socioeconomic differences between regions. To attack the problem, the 1991 constitution consecrated the administrative decentralization and regional autonomy as a new state paradigm.
However, the financial component and transmitter of the decentralized process based on the Territorial
Transfer System or General Participation System would become the cause of the state´s recurrent deficit
growth. In search of its financial balance, different governments reformed the constitution in 2001 and 2007
by changing the formula for calculating the transfers from the central level to the territorial entities. The
immediate consequence was a reduction in the regional participation with regard to the nation´s current
income which led to a public spending recentralization process and the disinvestment of the competencies
in charge of the regional government.
