| Résumé: | With the structural adjustment policies undertaken in the 1980s, Latin American govern- ments ceded control over the provision of public goods and services to other actors, resulting in diverse governance modalities. This article unravels the configuration of the project-based mode of local governance that emerged in a region of south- eastern Colombia, as an expression of the changes in the exercise of state authority. To this end, it focuses on three dimensions of governance: the actors who implement agro-environmental projects, the gap between official norms and practical norms, and the interpretations of the recipients of these projects. It concludes that this mode of governance legitimizes certain systems of relationships from which multiple actors benefit.
