Cooperações bilaterais do Brasil com Colômbia, Peru e Bolívia: desafios no combate ao narcotráfico no Arco Norte

Abstract

This research has as its main objective to identify the main causes of the difficulty of eradicating drug trafficking in the northern arch borders from an analysis of cooperation between Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. For the analysis, the theories of Securitization and the Regional Security Complex of the School of Copenhagen were used. The work was structured in three chapters and was based on the studies of Silva (2016), Medeiros Filho (2014), Dias (2015), Silva (2012), Buzan, Wæver and Wilde (1998), among others. The data used to perform the research were taken from literature and reports on the subject. The analysis of the work revealed that (1) there is a range of cooperation agreements and operations between Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, (2) there is an absence of the state in several Amazonian regions, (3) there is a very large shortage of institutions. competent in the countries. In this sense, this study underscores the importance of cooperation between South American countries in combating illicit drug trafficking, especially by exploring the South American Regional Security Complex.
