UMENA-SANCHEZ, Mario e DERMER-WODNICKY, Miriam. Hegemony and peripheral allies: Pax Americana and its support in Colombian security. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.39, pp.505-525. Epub 01-Jul-2022. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.892.
This article contributes to understanding how hegemony manifests when a power, in pursuit of its security, resorts to different strategies to avert threats that erode the security of a peripheral ally. To this end, the global, state, and social logic involved in three alliances, at three different times, between the United States and Colombia are studied. Similarly, the dimensions of hegemony that are put to the test in these plans are analyzed using a comparative analysis based on a qualitative method favoring documentary sources. Finally, it is concluded that the U.S. political elites’ decision-making process concerning their interventions has taken greater account of systemic constraints than the specificity of the contexts intervened.
