A sea-change has occurred in troubled Colombia, as detailed in this monograph. For the first time in 40 years, cautious optimism pervades discussions of Bogota's seemingly intractable situation. Drugs, terrorism, and insurgency continue in their explosive mix, but the current government of President Alvaro Uribe has fashioned a counterinsurgency approach that holds the strategic initiative and has a chance of negating a long-standing security threat to the state. This is critical if Colombian democratic and economic advances are to continue. Colombia has become synonymous in the popular mind with an intractable war waged against narco-terrorists. Not as understood is the strategic setting, wherein the illegal drug trade is not just linked to terrorism but rather is an integral part of a leftwing insurgency that continues to talk the language of the Cold War. This insurgency is the greatest threat to Bogota and to Washington's interests in the region.

At a time when counterinsurgency is again widely discussed, embattled Colombia has implemented a Democratic Security and Defense Policy that shows every sign of success against a complex narco-insurgency that has raged for four decades. The strategic initiative has been seized by acting upon the principle that personal security is the basis for state vitality.

This report from the CSIS Americas Program examines developments in Colombia to assess the lessons to be learned from that country's impressive recovery. The report analyzes why Colombia was on the road to possible state failure, how the process was reversed, and what will be needed to sustain progress. It also considers the role of U.S. assistance to Colombia since approval of the "Plan Colombia" special supplemental in 2000. The report highlights practical lessons from Colombia as a case study in countering challenges to security and stability in a weakened state. It will serve as an important point of reference for policymakers on Colombia-specific issues - as well as for those addressing challenges such as an inadequate state presence, large ungoverned spaces, weak rule of law, insurgencies, and a large-scale narcotics economy in other parts of the developing world.

Fighting The Hobbesian Trinity In Colombia written by Joseph R. Nuñez and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2001-04-27 with categories.
This ambitious monograph by Colonel Joseph Nuñez is a cogent response to the question of "What are the strategic and operational imperatives for the U.S. military in the implementation of Plan Colombia?" In it he develops the necessary background to make the argument that it is time for the United States to get rid of its Vietnam ghosts, and for Colombia to generate a viable political-military strategy to attain security, stability, democratic governance, and a sustainable peace. Together, both countries can make a major contribution to the well-being of the entire Western Hemisphere. Lacking representation, opportunity, and a true civil society, a Hobbesian monster has emerged to address the thin veneer of Colombian democracy, a paucity of economic progress, and the virtual nonexistence of personal and collective security throughout the country. The Hobbesian trinity, of course, includes the insurgents, the paramilitaries, and the illegal drug traffickers. These forces represent the worst passions of humanity violence, greed, corruption, anarchy, and intimidation-and are not confined within the borders of Colombia. The spillover effects of these forces into neighboring countries is creating a regional threat to stability, democracy, and peace. Colonel Nuñez argues that the United States can help the Colombians defeat this unholy trinity, but the only way to implement the enabling political, economic, and social components of Plan Colombia is to establish control of the national territory and the people in it. Moreover, the only way to defeat the forces of corruption, disintegration, degradation, and violence is to establish security throughout the national territory, progressively. A new Colombia must be created one municipality at a time. That, in turn, will require a voluntary constabulary force trained, equipped, and controlled by the government-something very different from past self-defense initiatives-that can rebuild a sense of personal security under the rule of law. All this is ambitious, indeed. It will be difficult, time consuming, and require strong resolve. But it can and must be done. It can be done by rethinking the threat and response. It must be done as a result of deliberate, cooperative, long-term, holistic, and strategic-level ends, ways, and means planning to achieve a mutually beneficial political end-state. The mission of the U.S. military, and the Army in particular, is to assist Colombia in professionalizing and modernizing its officer corps and general staff to the point where they can train, equip, and utilize their own regular and constabulary forces to directly contribute to the achievement of the stable, democratic, and peaceful end-state. Impressively, this can be done without increasing U.S. presence or influence. The Dante B. Fascell North-South Center of the University of Miami is pleased to join with the Strategic Studies Institute in offering this monograph to help inform the national security debate on what is to do be done in Colombia. It is of critical importance to this country, Colombia, and to the hemisphere.

Colombia's recent past has been characterized by what its Nobel laureate Gabriel García Marquez once called "a biblical holocaust" of human savagery. Along with the scourge of drug-related massacres facing the country, politically-motivated assassinations (averaging 30 per day in the 1990s), widespread disappearances, rapes, and kidnappings have run rampant through the country for decades. For many Colombians, the violence oft-invoked in today's immigration debate is a bleak and inescapable reality. And yet, with only eleven years of military rule during its 200 some years of independence, Colombia's democratic tradition is among the richest and longest-standing in the hemisphere. The country's economic growth rate over the last 75 years is among the highest in South America, the overall living satisfaction of its citizens is on par with citizens of France, and it is home to some of the continent's best universities and most dazzling fine and industrial arts. With such contradictions, even to experts, Colombia is one of the most confusing countries in the Americas. In this new addition to the popular What Everyone Needs to Know® series, Richard D. Mahoney links historical legacies, cultural features, and the relentless dynamics of the illegal drug industry to unravel the enigma. He explores the many key issues running through Colombia's history, distinguishing its national experience, and fueling its unquenchable creativity. With concerns surrounding immigration from the US's southern neighbors mounting to new heights, understanding the history and evolution of Colombia has never been more vital.
