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. -

A violent legacy writ large: Cocaine. At its core, the centrifugal figure of PABLO ESCOBAR, "El Doctor": A man who at the age of thirty-three, had reached a level of affluence and power stratospheric in scale...A man whom many believe to be the father of modern terrorism. He lorded over a billion dollar drug empire to brutal effect and waged open war against an entire country. He was ruthless, revered, vilified, feared and remains what many consider to be the last great gangster of the 20th century... ...The world will never again see a criminal quite like him. END CRAWL WE SEE: Pablo the family man. With his wife MARIA VICTORIA. Playing with his daughter MANUELA and son JUAN PABLO.

Retired DEA Agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena Talk to Blue About Hunting Down Pablo Escobar
THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED BY THE BLUE MAGAZINE FALL 2020 Exclusive Interview: Retired DEA Agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena Talk to Blue About Hunting Down Pablo Escobar By Eddie Molina (www.eddiemolina.com) When it comes to television shows, I’m very picky. I keep a watchful eye out for flaws, inconsistencies, unlikely coincidences- anything that will make me shun the show and give up on it. But every once I while I come across a gem that is perfect in every way. My favorite are shows based on actual events. And that show is Netflix’s Narcos. Narcos is the true story of the DEA’s hunt for the world’s first narco-trafficker- Pablo Escobar, one of the most ruthless drug lords in modern history. The Blue Magazine sat down with the two retired lead DEA agents responsible for hunting Escobar: Steve Murphy and Javier Pena. We discussed everything from the accuracy of Narcos, the extreme right wing group Los Pepes, their new book Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar and much more. The first thing I wanted to know was the accuracy of Narcos. Javier Pena tells Blue, “I tell people that the chronology is pretty accurate on the show; the timeline, the assassination, a lot of the major events, but the producers have to make it interesting.” Javier’s character in the series was pretty bad-a**; a booze-chugging womanizer who threw policy and morality right out of the window. But I wondered how accurate that was, especially considering his role as a law enforcer. -

Beyond War: Bin Laden, Escobar, and the Justification of Targeted Killing Luis E. Chiesa* Alexander K.A. Greenawalt∗∗ Abstract Using the May 2011 killing of Osama bin Laden as a case study, this Article contributes to the debate on targeted killing in two distinct ways, each of which has the result of downplaying the centrality of international humanitarian law (IHL) as the decisive source of justification for targeted killings. First, we argue that the IHL rules governing the killing of combatants in wartime should be understood to apply more strictly in cases involving the targeting of single individuals, particularly when the targeting occurs against nonparadigmatic combatants outside the traditional battlefield. -

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.

STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic-level study agent for issues related to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrate- gic analysis. The mission of SSI is to use independent analysis to conduct strategic studies that develop policy recommendations on: • Strategy, planning, and policy for joint and combined employment of military forces; • Regional strategic appraisals; • The nature of land warfare; • Matters affecting the Army’s future; • The concepts, philosophy, and theory of strategy; and • Other issues of importance to the leadership of the Army. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of De- fense, and the larger national security community. In addition to its studies, SSI publishes special reports on topics of special or immediate interest. These include edited proceedings of conferences and topically-oriented roundtables, expanded trip re- ports, and quick-reaction responses to senior Army leaders. The Institute provides a valuable analytical capability within the Army to address strategic and other issues in support of Army par- ticipation in national security policy formulation.
