Resumen
This article attempts to explore the strategic and ethic reasons of Canada’s concern about the peace-building process and the security improvement in the Third World countries and, especially, in Colombia. Our research suggests that not only the strategic relation with the United States but also the necessity of strengthening its international leadership, along with its liberal concerns, support the nature of the Canada’s security agenda in these countries. By explaining these reasons, this document draws a potential framework for building a bilateral security agenda between Canada and Colombia.Our research is framed on a singular analytical, political and theoretical perspective. It recognizes the significant importance of the “ideas” for the decision-making process, as well as the necessity of reducing the huge ignorance on security relations between Colombia and Canada through a theoretical framework. The influence of the ideas in the building of the security agenda is explored taking into account three road maps, which could help to coordinate both countries’ purposes related to peace-building process and security improvement in Colombia. In the first place, the most emblematic road maps to explain and to prescribe the First World countries’ international behavior, realism and liberalism, are evocated to understand the main concerns of Canadian national security and its ethics stand in the international realm. In the second place, the road map, which has been articulated by the literature on Third World security, is shown as a guide for organizing the main security concerns in Colombia. By recognizing that the threats that must be faced by Colombian state, institutions and society are typical of a Third World country, it is possible to understand the appropriateness of certain Canadian strategies, which are supported on a broader security approach, such as human security, and that has fairly been considered for facing the complex nature of the Third World security.
