CUBIDES CARDENAS, Jaime Alfonso  and  GARAY ACEVEDO, Claudia Patricia. Towards the Construction of a State-of-the-Art National Security and Defense in Colombia. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.11, pp.81-98. ISSN 1900-6586.

This article aims to contribute to the construction of a state-of-the-art National Security and Defense in Colombia, following a critical hermeneutic methodology in the review of the main advances in the object of study. The work has been structured into four major themes of exposition. The first focuses on establishing the problem of the conceptualization of the subject; the second clearly shows the influence that had the national security doctrine of the US on Latin America; the third determines the foundation for constitutional interpretation serving as legal basis;and the fourth presents the new international movement of human security as a rapidly evolving and adopted concept by the international system. The conclusion shows how this field, within its dynamic nature, has not been well conceptualized so far and even it has been influenced by foreign states. It is proposed to apply the constitutional limits outlined above and the new transnational concept of human security.

Keywords : Security; National Defense; State-of-the-art; Doctrine and Constitutional Limits.
