TREJOS ROSERO, Luis Fernando. The Colombian side of the Colombian-Brazilian border: An approach using the category of lawless area. Estud. front [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.31, pp.39-64. ISSN 2395-9134.

This study uses the category of lawless areas as an approach to the complex security situ-ation resulting from increasing ties between localized criminality and transnational or-ganized crime networks on the Colombian side of the Colombian-Brazilian border. The permanent presence of illegal armed actors in this border area is largely caused by the absence and weak presence of the Colom-bian State at its margins. The methodology used is both bibliographic and descriptive.

Palavras-chave : Failed State; border; lawless area; guerrilla; drug trade.
