Description
Summary:In the context of the deep crisis the Andean region is going through, Colombia’s situation is the most catastrophic and potentially serves as a model for external intervention in internal affairs in the hemisphere. The author examines this new kind of war the countryis experiencing as well as the so called new external interventionism and possible solutions to the conflict.

The importance of the outcome is encouraging external interference and the United States with its multimillion dollar contribution to the Colombia Plan is playing an ever more important role.
