Abstract

From the perspective of the Geography of power, this research analyzes the development of the territory of the Policía Ciudadana of Ayutla de los Libres based on the correlation of forces that this group maintained against a diverse set of both state and non-state actors to carry out its project of security in the period of 2013-2018. Based on fieldwork, hemerographic analysis and geolocation of the results, it was found that the territory of this group developed dynamically as a result of the claims of territorial control that it carried out inside and outside the localities under its influence, and the incursions of other armed actors, particularly crime and the Armed Forces, into them. Therefore, its territory should not be conceived as a final result, but as the partial result of a spatial projection in constant transformation with stages and places of consolidation, expansion and withdrawal.
