Description of the Book:

U.S. strategy to address support to developing countries is varied. In Colombia, U.S. strategy is an enabling force, allowing the Colombian government to continue solid progress towards sovereign control, while obtaining greater legitimacy of its government. This paper reviews the application of U.S. ends, ways and means to assist Colombia in its efforts to reverse a historical trend of violence. U.S. diplomatic, economic and military efforts are examined and analysis made on the success of current U.S. strategy. Negative perceptions of this strategy are addressed and recommendations for future strategy are made. Colombia continues to expand effective governance within its borders, while simultaneously improving human rights violations conditions. U.S. policy, coupled with unwavering support, will help determine if Colombia is able to fully obtain effective governance within its borders, free of human rights violations, illegal leftist and rightist organizations, and an economy based on narcotics production. The tide is turning in Colombia; now is the time to examine the balance of U.S.
