| Summary: | This article examines the recent history of Colombia from the perspective of security -understood as a political and multidimensional issue. It analyses primarily the tendency to militarize security and the consequences this brings to democracy, but touches upon other dimensions of security as well. It starts in the mid-Twentieth Century with the professionalization of the military forces and the development of military autonomy in the handling of public order. However, most of the article deals with the policy of Democratic Security developed by Alvaro Uribe's administration, and includes the changes brought about by Juan Manuel Santos' the first year of government. The article ends by identifying some challenges to security today. |
