| description | This study presents the role of the Colombian State in the formation of the steel industry in the department of Boyacá, between 1933 and 1980. The interventionism of the Colombian State has been a fundamental element for import substitution, which may be explained by the endogenous and exogenous conditions of the national economy during World War II (1939-1945). We start from the hypotesis that the State is a political form which has adopted the capitalist economic system; for this reason State interventionism in economy is a characteristic of the process of modernization experienced in Colombia between the end of the XIX century and the beginning of the XXth. We take into account the state policies and laws regarding the steel industry, the State institutions and trade unions that developed this sector, the decline of interventionism, and the emergence of the private steel companies. Secondary sources consulted were national press, the official trade union journal between 1960 and 1970, and CONPES (the Colombian Council of Social and Economic Policies).Lastly, we emphasize certain key points that are beyond the limits of the present study, such as interrelation between the steel industry and other sectors and knowledge areas, and the national and international technologies required for the activaton of great industries; vital ideas that may generate new research processes. |

En este artículo se expone el papel del Estado colombiano en la conformación del sector siderúrgico del Departamento de Boyacá, entre 1938 y 1980. El intervencionismo del Estado colombiano ha sido un elemento fundamental para la sustitución de importaciones explicable por las condiciones endógenas y exógenas de la economía nacional durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945). Se parte de la hipótesis de que el Estado es la forma política que ha adoptado el sistema económico capitalista y por tanto el intervencionismo estatal en la economía es característica del proceso de modernización que se experimentó en Colombia entre finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX. Se abordan las políticas y leyes estatales del sector siderúrgico, las instituciones estatales y gremiales que lo desarrollaron, el declive del intervencionismo y el surgimiento de siderúrgicas privadas. Se consultaron fuentes secundarias, prensa nacional, la revista oficial del gremio durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970 y CONPES. Por último, es de resaltar algunos puntos clave que se encuentran fuera del alcance del presente estudio como lo son la interrelación del sector siderúrgico con otros sectores y los flujos de conocimiento y tecnologías nacionales e internacionales que se requerían para el montaje de grandes empresas; ideas vitales para generar nuevos procesos investigativos. Dans cet article nous cherchons à préciser le rôle joué par l’Etat colombien dans la création du secteur sidérurgique du Département de Boyacá entre 1938 et 1980. L’interventionnisme de l’Etat colombien a été un élément fondamental de la substitution aux importations, qui s’explique à la fois par des conditions endogènes et exogènes de l’économie nationale pendant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale (1939-1945). Notre hypothèse de départc’est que c’est l’État la forme politique qui a adopté le système économique capitaliste et que l’interventionnisme étatique dans l’économie est une caractéristique du processus de modernisation expérimenté par la Colombie entre la in du XIXe et le début du XXe siècle. Dans le texte, nous examinons les politiques et la législation du secteur sidérurgique, les institutions étatiques et corporatives qui l’ont développé, le déclin de l’interventionnisme et le surgissement des sidérurgies privés. Pour ce faire, nous avons consulté des sources secondaires, la presse nationale, le magazine oficiel du secteur sidérurgique pendant les années 1960 et 1970 et les CONPES. Enin, nous tenons à souligner que quelques éléments-clé du sujet se trouvent au-delà du but de notre enquête : ainsi le rapport entre le secteur sidérurgique et d’autres secteurs, et les échanges de connaissances et de technologies nationales et internationales nécessaires pour la création de grandes entreprises. Ce sont, à n’en pas douter, des idées essentielles pour des recherches à venir.
