Colombian Labyrinth: The Synergy of Drugs and Insurgency and Its Implications for Regional Stability
Rabasa, Angel, et al. Colombian Labyrinth: The Synergy of Drugs and Insurgency and Its Implications for Regional Stability. Rand Corporation. June 2001, 113 pages.
U.S. policy toward Colombia has been driven to a large extent by counter-narcotics considerations, but the evolving situation in that South American country confronts the United States with as much of a national security as a drug policy problem. Colombia is a geostrategically important country, whose trajectory will influence broader trends in the Andean region and beyond. Colombian Labyrinth examines the sources of instability in the country; the objectives, strategy, strengths, and weaknesses of the government, guerrillas, and paramilitaries and the balances among them; and the effects of the current U.S. assistance program.
