Resumen
El presente artículo aborda la supuesta existencia de una cultura de paz en Panamá, que diferenciaría el país de otras naciones vecinas. Además, el autor analiza la historia plasmada en la letra del himno nacional, en la forma de episodios violentos presentados como intromisiones extranjeras. Esto le permite hacer énfasis en dos interpretaciones bajo el pensamiento transitista / cosmopolita liberal, ambas que ratifican la supuesta proclividad “natural” de los panameños a la convivencia pacífica. En cuanto a el aumento de la criminalidad, el autor examina diferentes tesis, entre ellas la que sostiene que se trata de un fenómeno internacional, y la que asocia el incremento de la criminalidad a la entrada irrestricta de extranjeros a Panamá. This article addresses the supposed existence of a culture of peace in Panama, which would differentiate the country from other neighboring nations. In addition, the author analyzes the history reflected in the lyrics of the national anthem, in the form of violent episodes presented as foreign intrusions. This allows him to emphasize two interpretations under the liberal transitional / cosmopolitan thought, both that ratify the supposed "natural" proclivity of Panamanians to peaceful coexistence. Regarding the increase in crime, the author examines different thesis, including the one that holds that it is an international phenomenon, and the one that links the increase in criminality with the unrestricted immigration of foreigners to Panama. 3th ed.
