Injerencia De Estados Unidos Como Un Cambio En La Política Exterior Colombiana Con Respecto Al Conflicto Armado Interno, Juan Sebastián Narváez Arciniegas, Harold Iván Villamarín Rozo Jan 2020

Injerencia De Estados Unidos Como Un Cambio En La Política Exterior Colombiana Con Respecto Al Conflicto Armado Interno, Juan Sebastián Narváez Arciniegas, Harold Iván Villamarín Rozo

Negocios y Relaciones Internacionales

El conflicto armado en Colombia, encabezado por diferentes grupos subversivos, pero principalmente por las FARC como fuerzas revolucionarias en oposición a las decisiones y posiciones del Estado, lleva desarrollándose alrededor de cincuenta años. Debido a la no existencia de una alternativa de solución, algunos gobiernos como de los expresidentes Andrés Pastrana y Álvaro Uribe han planteado distintos proyectos tales como el Plan Colombia y el Plan Patriota, encaminados a finalizar de forma definitiva con la masacre en donde la población civil ha sido el principal afectado, así como la paz y seguridad internacionales, generando un interés por parte de Estados …


La Configuración De La Política Exterior China Desde El Nuevo Concepto De Seguridad: Análisis De La Nueva Ruta De La Seda, Gabriela Oviedo Moreno, Cindy Lorena Vera Pinzón Jan 2020

La Configuración De La Política Exterior China Desde El Nuevo Concepto De Seguridad: Análisis De La Nueva Ruta De La Seda, Gabriela Oviedo Moreno, Cindy Lorena Vera Pinzón

Negocios y Relaciones Internacionales

En las últimas décadas el gobierno chino ha tenido un rol protagónico en la Sociedad Internacional que implica la modificación de su estrategia de política exterior. Al hacerlo redefine el concepto de seguridad transnacionalmente, involucrando a la par de la dimensión militar, dinámicas económicas, sociales y culturales. Un ejemplo de dicha reconfiguración es la emergencia del proyecto mega regional desarrollado en el año 2013, denominado la Nueva Ruta de la Seda (CYR), iniciativa que retoma un proyecto histórico de carácter estratégico donde se visualiza el tránsito de una potencia de alcance regional a una de transcendencia global. La presente investigación …

The 2011 Mena Revolutions: A Study In U.S. Energy (In)Security, Jessie Rumsey Oct 2012

The 2011 Mena Revolutions: A Study In U.S. Energy (In)Security, Jessie Rumsey

Journal of Strategic Security

The recent upheavals in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have brought into stark relief the conflict between democratic values and strategic interests in U.S. foreign policy. Americans are known for commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, yet the U.S. Government is frequently unwilling to step forward and openly express even rhetorical support for reform movements in foreign countries. In fact, initial American reluctance to support the recent "Arab Spring" uprisings serves as another example of what scholars argue is a general exception in the MENA to broader post-Cold War rising costs of maintaining autocracy. This …

China And The New Asia: Policy Recommendations, Tasha N. Haug Apr 2011

China And The New Asia: Policy Recommendations, Tasha N. Haug

Senior Honors Theses

The People’s Republic of China is an indispensable political and economic force in Asia. With the majority of the United States’ foreign economic interests invested in the Asia-Pacific region, the leading role that China is taking is a major concern. The Asia-Pacific region is strategically important to the US. How US policy makers craft foreign policy toward Asia has a direct impact on US involvement in the region. Unless the US becomes more invested in Asia, develops a comprehensive understanding of China’s role in the region, and proactively pursue strategic relationships, US influence in Asian affairs will become a thing …


Resetting U.S.-Turkish Relations: Charting A New Way Forward, Aaron Stein Mar 2011

Resetting U.S.-Turkish Relations: Charting A New Way Forward, Aaron Stein

Journal of Strategic Security

After nearly nine decades of benign neglect, Turkey has set about reestablishing its influence in the Middle East. Although most observers agree that the United States and Turkey share a number of overlapping goals in the Middle East, Turkey's recent rapprochement with Iran has drawn the ire of the United States. In tandem, Turkey's relations with Israel, Washington's closest ally in the region, have deteriorated rapidly following Israel's war in Gaza and the events aboard the Mavi Marmara. These coinciding events have further complicated U.S.-Turkish relations and have led a number of pundits in Washington to openly question Turkey's ideological …


Ballistic Missile Defense: New Plans, Old Challenges, Elizabeth Zolotukhina May 2010

Ballistic Missile Defense: New Plans, Old Challenges, Elizabeth Zolotukhina

Journal of Strategic Security

On September 17, 2009—the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 that marked the beginning of World War II—the Obama Administration announced its intention to shelve plans for the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) that had been developed under former President George W. Bush. Pointing to a new intelligence assessment, President Obama argued that his predecessor's plan to deploy an X-band radar station outside of Prague, Czech Republic, and 10 two-stage interceptor missiles in Poland would not adequately protect America and its European allies from the Iranian threat and reiterated his opposition to utilizing unproven technology in …

U.S. Response To Terrorism: A Strategic Analysis Of The Afghanistan Campaign, Valentina Taddeo

Journal of Strategic Security

This article examines the U.S. response to global terrorism and its campaign in Afghanistan from 2001 to today. The aim of this article is first to understand the fallacies, missteps, and misunderstandings of the U.S. approach in Afghanistan. Second, the analysis evaluates the lessons learnt and some possible strategies for achieving long-term stability and security in Afghanistan. In particular, the analysis focuses on the different strategies adopted by the United States and their achievements. Despite a first victory over the Taliban regime, the initial approach was focused on the enemy only and it lacked long-term planning, paving the way to …


North Korea And Support To Terrorism: An Evolving History, Bruce E. Bechtol, Jr. May 2010

North Korea And Support To Terrorism: An Evolving History, Bruce E. Bechtol, Jr.

Journal of Strategic Security

The DPRK's (Democratic People's Republic of Korea or North Korea) support for terrorism began as an ideologically-based policy financed by the Soviet Union that eventually led to a policy designed to put money into the coffers of the elite in Pyongyang—in short, a "proliferation for hire" policy. This article articulates a brief history of the North Korean regime, the rise to power of Kim Il-sung and his son, Kim Jong-il, and North Korea's persistent support to terrorist groups around the globe.


Revisiting Downs' Issue-Attention Cycle: International Terrorism And U.S. Public Opinion, Karen K. Petersen Nov 2009

Revisiting Downs' Issue-Attention Cycle: International Terrorism And U.S. Public Opinion, Karen K. Petersen

Journal of Strategic Security

Lamenting the lack of public awareness of international events and U.S. foreign policy is not a particularly novel exercise; yet, explaining the process by which issues enter and exit the public realm remains a challenging endeavor. Despite contributions from researchers working in international relations and mass communication, explaining public inattentiveness continues to vex scholars. However, in his article, "Up and Down with Ecology: The 'Issue-Attention Cycle,'" Anthony Downs provides a parsimonious and tractable model of public opinion that can be applied to foreign policy issues.1 While Downs concerns himself exclusively with domestic issues, particularly environmental issues, his model has thepotential …
