| Sumario: | Assuming that relations between the United States (US) and Latin America are strongly determined by the security agenda, this article proposes to examine the cooperative link that Washington established with Bogota based on the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism as a way of approach the type of relationship that proposes the north country for Latin America in the twenty-first century. Consequently, we try to support the observation of two trends, on the one hand, the strengthening of militarization of US influence and its driving by the Department of Defense and, on the other, the militarized US involvement in the armed conflict in Colombia by including it as part of the fight against international terrorism. The methodology used to prepare the writing is qualitative and applies to an investigative process based on primary and secondary sources. |
