GANGI GUILLEN, Giuseppe Kodjack VII. Migration dynamics on the Colombian-Venezuelan border and its relationship with transnational crime. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.44, pp.906-924.  Epub Oct 01, 2023. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.984.

In recent years, migratory flows along the Colombia-Venezuela border have experienced a notable change in their dynamics and profiles. The expansion and consolidation of irregular economies with certain roots in the border area, as well as the economic and social crisis in Venezuela and the conflict in Colombia, have led to governance problems and conflicts in bilateral relations between the two countries. This article studies the transformation of the Colombia -Venezuela migration phenomenon, its implications, and risks for both countries, with emphasis on the use of this situation by criminal structures. It is concluded that the institutional actions designed to address this problem require great collaboration at the regional level, and even the participation of extra-regional actors.
