Colombia: Current and Future Political, Economic and Security Trends
Colombia: Current and Future Political, Economic and Security Trends By Stephen J. Randall, FRSC Fellow of the Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute and Director, Institute for United States Policy Research Jillian Dowding, MA Assistant Director, Institute for United States Policy Research December 2006 Prepared for the Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute 1600, 530 – 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB T2P 3S8 www.cdfai.org © Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute Introduction For some analysts Colombia is seen to be at a crossroads, with the capacity to move beyond more than thirty years of internal conflict and realize its potential, especially in the economic sector. This paper outlines the current political, economic and security situation in the country and explores some of the possible scenarios for the next five to ten year period.1 The authors suggest that it is critically important to examine the ways in which the political and strategic environment has evolved over the past decade in order to understand the current situation and predict where the country will likely move in the near future. Most analysts of Colombia concur that Colombia has not realized its economic potential in the past fifty years because of the internal conflict, a conflict that has its roots in both ideological differences as well as socio-economic inequalities, but which have been greatly exacerbated since the emergence of the narcotics industry in the 1970s. That internal conflict has defeated government after government in its effort to develop a broader vision of the role that Colombia could play in inter-American relations or economically to move into the developed world. -

Colombia: the U.S
UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE Simulation on Colombia: The U.S. Response to the Changing Nature of International Conflict This simulation provides participants with a profound understanding of the political agendas, options, and dynamics at play within the US. foreign policy apparatus when prospects of foreign intervention by the U.S. military are under consideration. Participants grapple with a scenario of increasing political and economic crisis in Colombia, and debate the decisions that U.S. policy- makers must consider in defining an appropriate American response to help bring stability to that country. Simulation participants role-play officials from the Executive and Legislative branches of the U.S. Government, members of human rights organizations, and journalists representing various U.S. media. In representing their particular positions in these challenging negotiations, participants will have ample opportunity to consider the broader implications of the scenario on U.S. foreign policy and international conflict in general.

Colombia's Peace Process Through 2016
Colombia’s Peace Process Through 2016 (name redacted) Analyst in Latin American Affairs December 31, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R42982 Colombia’s Peace Process Through 2016 Summary In August 2012, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos announced that the government was engaged in exploratory peace talks with the violent leftist insurgent group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), in a bid to resolve a nearly 50-year internal armed conflict. The secret, initial dialogue between the Santos government and the FARC’s leadership led to the opening of formal peace talks with the FARC—the oldest, largest, and best-financed guerrilla organization in Latin America. Formal talks began in Oslo, Norway, in October 2012 and then, as planned, moved to Havana, Cuba, where they continued for more than 50 rounds. Despite more than three years of negotiations, the leader of the FARC, Rodrigo Londoño, alias “Timochenko,” had not met publicly with President Santos. In September 2015, the two leaders shook hands in a televised meeting and announced that the negotiating parties would reach a final accord no later than March 23, 2016. However, that deadline, as many others before it, went unmet. By the end of 2015, the most difficult issue in the peace talks’ agenda, outlined in a framework agreement, was resolved. Government and FARC negotiators reached a partial agreement on victims of the conflict, providing a comprehensive system for reparations, justice, truth and guarantees for non-repetition and outlining a transitional justice system. In late January 2016, the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council adopted Resolution 2261, stating that a U.N. -

Capital Punishment: the Fragmentation of Colombia and the Crisis of the Nation-State
Third World Quarterly, Vol 22, No 6, pp 1063–1078, 2001 Capital punishment: the fragmentation of Colombia and the crisis of the nation-state JEFF BROWITT ABSTRACT The Colombian nation-state is in its worst period of crisis since the infamous Violencia of the late 1940s and 1950s. State power is being contested by a number of groups: paramilitaries, the revolutionary Left, drug cartels and corrupt high-level officials. But these latest challenges must be set in a wider historical context: a 200-year history of failed attempts by the oligarchy to forge a stable modern nation-state without undermining their dominant position in the Colombian polity. The writing of a new constitution in 1991, the first since 1886, was an attempt to address many of the above problems, including the granting of special powers to the executive to deal with civil unrest, the need for a de- centralised and pluralised political landscape and constitutional guarantees for minority and indigenous representation and rights. However, constitutional change has also taken place in the context of the consolidation of the globalisa- tion project and the practical effects of the new constitution have been its provision of legal and administrative measures to facilitate the neoliberal restructuring of the economy, a process which, over the past 10 years, has been a devastating form of ‘capital punishment’ for the Colombian underclasses and has contributed to the further fragmentation of the nation. In the past two to three years in Colombia there have been several major national strikes against the government’s economic policies. Public sector and private sector labour unions have been agitating for a moratorium on the payment of foreign debt, a change from the dominant neoliberal economic model of the past 10 years and a rejection of IMF preconditions for loans. -

Owen Owen: Competition Policy in Latin America Competition Policy in Latin America Bruce M. Owen Gordon Cain Senior Fellow Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research DRAFT: October 2003 Abstract This paper reports on recent developments in Latin American competition (antitrust) policy from the perspective of the role competition policy in supporting market reform. Competition policy is an instance of the use of law to influence economic behavior. More than eighty nations have enacted anti- trust laws in the last twenty years, mostly based on U.S. and E.U. models. A review of the antitrust activity in Latin America shows that all the larger countries have active competition agencies using modern economic theories and procedures that rely chiefly on ad- ministrative agencies rather than the courts. -

Oecd Public Governance Scan Colombia
OECD PUBLIC GOVERNANCE SCAN COLOMBIA On enhancing administrative capacity at the sub-national level for better planning and open government OECD PUBLIC GOVERNANCE SCAN - COLOMBIA What are Public Governance Scans? OECD Public Governance Scans provide a summary assessment of the institutional and decision-making arrangements that governments at all levels use to design and implement national strategy, including the translation and pursuit of the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals in a national context. Public Governance Scans present a strategic overview of the more in-depth analysis that can be provided through the OECD Public Governance Review (PGR) assessment and benchmarking tool. A PGR provides governments with a 360-degree perspective on their ability to deliver on their strategic objectives. Rooted in the sound methodological approach of the PGRs, Scans aim to deliver a diagnosis in a shorter time and in the format of a more concise output. Context-specific data collection is drawn from one or more OECD surveys administered to key stakeholders in the jurisdiction under review, and is complemented with a fact-finding mission to the jurisdiction. Why a Public Governance Scan on enhancing administrative capacity for strategic planning and open government at sub-national level in Colombia? This Scan specifically focuses on ways to foster administrative capacity at subnational level in Colombia. In particular, it provides policy recommendations directed at both the national and departmental governments to improve the implementation of open government strategies and initiatives to improve policy coordination and strategic planning. At the conclusion of its Accession process to the OECD, Colombia committed to pursue further reforms in the area of public governance and to report to the OECD Public Governance Committee and to the Council on progress in implementing these reforms annually over the first five years following accession. -
