Strategies of the Orange Economy – Wind Rose 51 INTRODUCTION Colombia has built a solid institutional framework in regards to culture, expressed in a dynamic normative corpus and decisive initiatives in the field, which in turn have contributed to the conceptual and methodological groundwork of the Orange Economy. The enactment of Law 397 of 1997 enshrined the institutional character of culture and consolidated the principles derived from the Constitution of 1991 relating to the role of citizens in the safeguard of heritage and the enjoyment of culture and creativity. After this legislative milestone, a series of laws were issued to promote individual sectors, such as publishing (1993), film (2003), performing arts (2011), among others. Finally, in 2013 Colombia became a State party to the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. The National Culture Plan for 2001-2010: Towards a Cultural Democratic Citizenship, summoned more than 23,000 Colombians to collectively build a plural and democratic process that allowed cultural associations, individuals, movements and institutions from different fields and expertise to participate in the design of cultural policies. The Compendium of Cultural Policies of the Ministry of Culture, published in 2010, defined the goals and strategies that would reinforce the future mission of the ministry. During this period the groundwork was laid for the launching of a Satellite Account of Culture to include among the national economic accounts, and the Cultural

This article examines efforts to confront and cope with the pandemic in a specific case, that of Colombia. It identifies a crisis of governability in the country that has been exacerbated by the pandemic, but which preceded COVID-19 and is likely to outlast it as well. We describe the context in which the pandemic unfolded and the government’s response, which has laid bare the fragility of Colombia’s socioeconom- ic and political achievements, evidencing deeper structural problems. The country is subject to a high level of informality in the economy’s, a lack of social safety nets for more than half of the population, and the ongoing presence of violence and illegal groups. With the pandemic added to this backdrop, social tensions rose, and blame games and confrontations between national and subnational governments became part of the daily news. Policy measures were undertaken to reduce the number of in- fections, including extensive lockdowns; while assessments of their effectiveness in meeting their stated objectives vary, there has undeniably been significant regression on economic and social indicators. The dynamics of the 2022 elections will undoubt- edly be marked by the consequences of the COVID-19 emergency.

The Interagency Group for Mixed Migratory Flows (GIFMM, by its Spanish acronym) is currently composed of 61 members at the national level and coordinates the humanitarian response for refugees and migrants from Venezuela, Colombian returnees, and host communities. In addition to the national level, the platform includes eight local GIFMMs covering 11 departments.

  • The Extradition of Nationals in Colombia and the Dominican Republic
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 22, Issue 5 1998 Article 12 Removing Drug Lords and Street Pushers: The Extradition of Nationals in Colombia and the Dominican Republic Joshua H. Warmund∗ ∗ Copyright c 1998 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Removing Drug Lords and Street Pushers: The Extradition of Nationals in Colombia and the Dominican Republic Joshua H. Warmund Abstract This Comment explores the interplay between drug trafficking and extradition policy in the U.S.-Latin American-Caribbean region by focusing upon the recent legal shift in Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Part I describes the status of current international extradition law, focusing on modern extradition policy. In particular, this part details the respective extradition treaties of Colombia and the Dominican Republic with the United States. Part I also explores the roles that these two nations assume trafficking drugs into the United States and highlights the corresponding U.S. anti-drug enforcement response. Finally, Part I examines the challenges that drug traffick- ing and certain anti-drug policies traditionally posed to developing extradition-friendly laws in Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Part II inspects the new extradition reforms in Colombia and the Dominican Republic and notes reactions to the new laws. Part III probes in closer detail the motivations responsible for the shift in extradition policy in both Colombia and the Dominican Republic. This Part argues that the form and content of the new laws, although influenced by U.S. anti-drug enforcement policies, strongly reflect domestic power struggles occurring within Colom- bia and the Dominican Republic.
