ACEVEDO-NAVAS, Christian. Strategic thematic axes in security and defense in Colombia. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.42, pp.302-326.  Epub 01-Abr-2023. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.1215.

The security and defense landscape is changing and gradually presents more numerous and varied challenges, which should be understood both for practical purposes in decision-making and for investigative purposes. The objective of this article is to identify the main thematic axes at a strategic-level affecting Colombia’s security and defense. Under a qualitative approach, a content analysis of 62 specialized documents and the opinion of 67 experts was carried out, which allowed the identification of 25 thematic axes for Colombia’s security and defense. Among the findings, transnational organized crime stands out as the most important issue, followed by political and governmental issues, and economic issues. This demonstrates the growing relevance of security factors and threats, beyond the traditional state-centric approach.
