Web Cams Colombia Colombia Introduction [Top of Page] Background: Colombia was one of the three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Ecuador and Venezuela). A 40-year insurgent campaign to overthrow the Colombian Government escalated during the 1990s, undergirded in part by funds from the drug trade. Although the violence is deadly and large swaths of the countryside are under guerrilla influence, the movement lacks the military strength or popular support necessary to overthrow the government. While Bogota continues to try to negotiate a settlement, neighboring countries worry about the violence spilling over their borders.

Studentship 3 Name: From: Colombia Tutors: Jon Lloyd e-mail: eliana_jimenez@yahoo.com Proposal: Eliana is developing a project in the Parque Nacional Amacayacu, in SE Colombia, to assess the structure, dynamics, and productivity of a western Amazonian forest (to date such work has been completely lacking in the region), and, eventually, to compare the results with similar projects using the same standards being developed by PAN-AMAZON European, Brazilian, and Peruvian investigators. This work will be directly comparable with parallel studies by Pan-Amazonia fellows across Amazonia in Brazil (11) and Peru (10). Studentship 4

83. Panama - GEOGRAPHY geography. Figure 4. Topography and Drainage The country s two international boundaries, with Colombia and Costa Rica, have been clearly demarcated, http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-9962.html

Country Listing Panama Table of Contents Panama GEOGRAPHY Figure 4. Topography and Drainage fig. 1 Panama's two coastlines are referred to as the Caribbean (or Atlantic) and Pacific, rather than the north and south coasts. To the east is Colombia and to the west Costa Rica. Because of the location and contour of the country, directions expressed in terms of the compass are often surprising. For example, a transit of the Panama Canal from the Pacific to the Caribbean involves travel not to the east but to the northwest, and in Panama City the sunrise is to the east over the Pacific. The country is divided into nine provinces, plus the Comarca de San Blas, which for statistical purposes is treated as part of Colón Province in most official documents. The provincial borders have not changed since they were determined at independence in 1903. The provinces are divided into districts, which in turn are subdivided into sections called corregimientos . Configurations of the corregimientos are changed periodically to accommodate population changes as revealed in the census reports.

For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: an embattled president who is losing his once solid support among Venezuelans, a divided military, drug-related conflicts along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples.

Contact Editor Overview It is commonly held that democracy is unquestionably a worthwhile goal, warranting extensive study. Social scientists find much common ground with respect to the basic concepts surrounding democratic consolidation and easily recognize that many transitioning countries lack the characteristics to effectively consolidate democracy. However, beyond these shared assumptions, imprecision and confusion are the rules rather than the exception when it comes to serious discussion of democratic consolidation. This overview highlights some of the major obstacles to democratic consolidation in three developing countries: Guatemala, Colombia, and Algeria. These case studies demonstrate significant theoretical and empirical problems that challenge a successful transition to a consolidated democracy, providing an overview of the complex problems faced by democratizing countries worldwide. Defining Democratic Consolidation O'Donnell 1996 ). These prerequisites should ensure that democracy functions at a minimal level: that is, competition occurs for public office, political participation is useful and inclusive, and civil rights and liberties are protected. These requirements should prevent a reversion to authoritarian rule, and ensure that the structures that allow for majoritarian rule also protect minority rights, thereby consolidating democracy (

PANAM case). More than 100,000 acres are deforested each year to grow coca, marijuana, and opium poppies. Paradoxically, the drug war waged by the US and Colombian governments has exacerbated deforestation and loss of biodiversity. Growers have been pushed higher up the slopes and in to more remote, virgin forests of the Andes (aided by an increase in opium cultivation which favors higher altitudes) as a means of escaping the law. Seventy three percent of the Andes, an area that is vital to the conservation of Colombia's water supply, has been deforested as a result of both migration and drug cultivation (World Press Review, 43) (see COLCOCA case). Poverty and unequal land distribution have escalated deforestation. In rural areas, 3 percent of the landed elite own 71.3 percent of arable land while 57 percent of the poorest farmers must subsist off of a mere 2.8 percent of the land (Conniff, 27). The situation has been exacerbated by Colombia's attempts to develop their market economy with cash crops for export while ignoring and further marginalizing small farmers. As a result, much of the country's deforestation is caused by land settlement. Each year settlers cut down 988,000 acres, converting the land to fields and pastures. Much of the settlement occurs from poor farmers who have been left with no alternatives because they have been unable to subsist from their meager plots of land (World Press Review, 43) (see COCA case). Competition for access to the Colombian market has increased and transnational corporations are already taking an active role in Colombia's deforestation through oil extraction and mineral mining. The Japanese government is currently financing the construction of a road which links the Pacific coast to inland forest regions, allowing for easier trade access between the two countries. Furthermore, the road will increase the influx of people in to the area, spurring economic development and deforestation (UNCED, 56). 3. Related Cases

Information Technology in Colombia Software Manufacturing Facts: Distribution! The electronics sector of Colombia is made of approximately 350 small companies with total 1994 sales of US$ 50 million while the software sector is formed by 400 small companies. Colombia has both the location and the experience to offer regional distribution systems and stands poised to make a strong stand in the distribution, service, and support of electronic and software products. ( The geographical dispersement of Colombia's major cities as well as its varied geographical settings have caused local companies to develop highly sophisticated distribution systems. Also, because of the geographical disparity and isolation, extensive service and support options have been made available. People! Colombia has a large pool of engineers who have become known for their problem solving skills and innovative tatics, due in part to the geographical despersement. It is a lack of experience with up and coming technical advancements and complex automation that have caused large multinationals to direct work to foreign engineering firms. With training and experience, however, Colombia has a ready pool of engineers to promote future technology developments. While other countries lack the personnel, Colombia lacks training for its talent pool. By training its workforce, Colombia stands to gain much in future advancements. Colombia's privatization and deregulation to permit foreign entry should further this cause.
