Security in Ecuador - Colombia relations

Authors: Andrade, Pablo;

Security in Ecuador - Colombia relations

Abstract

This article focuses on what is currently the most outstanding issue for Ecuadorian foreign policy, namely, the growing violence of the transborder conflict. By using the approach of so-called "peace studies': the author makes a critical review of the conceptual and ethical assumptions on which the Ecuadorian foreign policy is based. It is argued that the colombian conflict can be seen as a contemporary form of war, one which would lead the Ecuadorian State to become directly involved. This involvement will likely derive from the ethical imperatives related to the preservation of human security for both the domestic population and the displaced Colombians.

El artículo se ocupa del tema de política exterior ecuatoriana más urgente y sobresaliente en la actualidad, esto es la existencia de un conflicto violento transfronterizo. El autor pasa examina críticamente los supuestos éticos y conceptuales de la actual política exterior ecuatoriana desde la perspectiva de los estudios de paz. Se argumenta que el conflicto colombiano puede ser entendido como una guerra contemporánea, en la cual el estado ecuatoriano estaría implicado por el imperativo ético de proteger la seguridad humana de los ecuatorianos, y de las poblaciones colombianas forzadas a desplazarse.
