Colombia: President Uribe's democratic security policy Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE NATIONAL SECURITY GUERRILLA FIGHTERS GOVERNMENT POLICY CONFLICT POLICE POVERTY DEMOBILIZATION RURAL DEVELOPMENT This report examines Colombian President Uribe's Democratic Security Policy (DSP), the long-term strategy promised to lend coherence to the security effort. Under the DSP, Uribe has sought to regain control of the country by increasing the numbers and capacity of troops and police units and by deploying them across the country to challenge the guerrillas. He has also used less formal mechanisms to boost security which have generated widespread controversy. The report argues that a comprehensive policy aimed at reducing poverty in the countryside, investing in social programs, and establishing the rule of law is a necessary complement to the military components of the DSP; its absence makes the military task more difficult. 2026-09-30T11:51:46Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33357651.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Colombia_President_Uribe_s_democratic_security_policy/33357651 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
