Abstract

Colombia grows and has signed a number of trade treaties in recent years, a veritable economic boom. Now the debate is focused on how to use the fruits of this boom to improve the life of its people and to prevent a return of social tension that would jeopardize growth. Growth and the country's new energy have had a positive effect on the country's image associated with drug trafficking and FARC guerilla. The drug cartel has been maimed and the country looks forward to concrete results from the negotiations with the FARC ongoing in Cuba.
