Summary:This article calls for a balanced analysis of the implications of each one of the individual crises hitting the Andean countries. The author claims that the U.S: lacks a clear policy towards the Andean region; that in the U.S. there is a sense that conflicts have gone out of control, and that drug trafficking appears as the only problem with political resonance. The article argues for a multilateral approach geared to guaranteeing regional security, and identifies the Colombian crisis as the most threatening for the whole region.
