Abstract
This article outlines the transformations in the concept of monopoly of the use of force by Sovereign States in South America after de Cold War, mainly due to the use of Private Military Industries under Plan Colombia. Created in July 2000 by the United States, the curbing drug program Plan Colombia injects about 630 million dollars in this South American country. Of this amount, almost half is designated for such private companies, engaged primarily in combat assistance against the FARC and training of troops. Representatives of the process of economic liberalization of the 90s, the Private Military Industries are important actors for the understanding of new issues involving conflicts in the post-Cold War world.
