description | The purpose of this paper is to establish the influence of the mining development in the conflict on the western area of Boyacá, Colombia. The research is framed under the qualitative paradigm, defining as main indicators the accumulation of large capitals and social control exercised by business conglomerates, from the period between 2010 and 2017. The results indicate that the configuration of the conflict on the west of Boyacá responds to the interest of the accumulation of large capitals by the companies that traditionally operate in the area. In addition, the absence of the State is evident, reflected in the lack of control of the companies that have the exploitation of the mines, as well as in the constant violation of the human rights of the citizens of the region. Finally, the intervention of the multinationals appears as an emerging phenomenon that will need constant control by the State. |

Este artículo tiene como objetivo establecer la influencia del desarrollo minero en el conflicto de la zona occidental de Boyacá, Colombia. La investigación se enmarca en el paradigma cualitativo, definiendo como indicadores principales la acumulación de grandes capitales y el control social ejercido por los conglomerados empresariales, enfatizando en el periodo comprendido entre los años 2010 a 2017. Los resultados indican que la configuración del conflicto en el occidente de Boyacá respondió al interés de la acumulación de grandes capitales, por parte de las empresas que tradicionalmente han operado en la región. Además, se evidencia la ausencia del Estado, reflejada en la falta de control a las empresas que poseen la explotación de las minas, así como en la violación constante a los derechos humanos de los ciudadanos de la región. Finalmente, la intervención de las multinacionales aparece como un fenómeno emergente que necesitará de un control constante por parte del Estado.
