Spanish Abstract: El utilitarismo sociologico –o el compendio de motivaciones no economicas, y no estrictamente racionales que se internalizan en agentes sociales y por las cuales dichos actores tienden a reproducir logicas criminales– se manifiesta de diferentes formas en el crimen transnacional. Varios elementos, por fuera del analisis tradicional fundado en el racionalismo economico, pueden ser expuestos a traves de esta perspectiva. Este texto propone una agenda de analisis con cinco puntos concretos por observar respecto a la generacion de motivaciones sociologicas frente al crimen transnacional: el usufructo y la proyeccion de la autoridad; la necesidad de suscribirse a estructuras de proteccion en zonas grises de presencia estatal; el interes por generar, alimentar, preservar o contribuir a la generacion identitaria; la necesidad de crear mecanismos paralelos de regulacion social; la necesidad de financiar causas consideradas moralmente superiores. Su aplicacion frente a la evolucion del trafico de migrantes en Colombia se convierte en una primera oportunidad para comenzar a pensar en el tema, de cara al entendimiento de otros fenomenos similares. English Abstract: Sociological utilitarianism, or the compendium of non-economic and not strictly rational motivations that are internalized in social agents due to which actors tend to reproduce criminal logic, is manifested through different forms of transnational crime. Several elements can be exposed though this perspective, outside of the traditional anaylsis based on economic rationalism. This text proposes an analysis agenda with five concrete points to observe in regards to the generation of sociological motivations facing transnational crime. These are: the usufruct and projection of authority; the need to subscribe to protection structures in grey areas of state presence; the interest to generate, nourish, preserve, or contribute to the generation of identity; the need to create parallel mechanisms of social regulation; and the need to finance causes considered to be morally superior. Its application to the evolution of the traffic of migrants in Colombia becomes a first opportunity to start thinking about the issue, along with the understanding of similar phenomena.
