ARDILA CASTRO, Carlos Alberto  and  PINEDO HERRERA, Carlos Antonio. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION FOR CONTROL OF TRAFFIC OF FIREARMS, AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES: A MECHANISM FOR THE GENERATION OF ONTOLOGICAL SECURITY IN COLOMBIA. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.1, pp.309-326. ISSN 1909-3063.

Although the results of the Colombian participation in international cooperation schemes aimed at the control of traffic of firearms, ammunition and explosives, are generally analyzed regarding physical aspects such as reduction of homicides and impounding of illegal weapons, it is necessary to identify other areas equally important for implementing security in the country; among these are the aspects of identity and recognition of Colombia's position in the international scene. This article aims to analyze international cooperation for control of traffic of firearms, ammunition and explosives as a mechanism for the generation of ontological security in Colombia, for which we are going to use a constructivist theoretical approach.

Keywords : ontological security; traffic of firearms; ammunition and explosives; routinization schemes; international cooperative mechanisms; identity.
