RESUMEN:
The authors seek to investigate the articulation of human/environmental security agenda to
justify military action under ‘Plan Colombia / Plan Andino’ (PC/PA), the USA
anti drugs trafficking strategy for Amazonia. It is observed that PC/PA exacerbates
existing inequities in the region and are ineffective at controlling
‘narco-trafficking’.
The paper explores the relation between culture and human/environmental security. The
discussion illustrates how cultural and aesthetics beliefs provide the background for
agroecological practices adopted by indigenous Amazonian peoples. It is argued that
political developments in the region have undermined the ability of this people to
maintain their livelihood strategies. It is conclude that PC/PA, which effectively exclude
indigenous peoples from the management of the rainforest environments where they have
lived for centuries, is justified by the Colombian and USA governments on the ground that
they improve security of the very people they displace.
