| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The recent mining boom provides some Latin American countries with a fundamental new source of revenue, but can also pose some very significant threats to their stability and security. After a brief overview of recent regional developments, Elizabeth Deheza and Ugo Ribet assess the case of Colombia and scrutinise the security, socioenvironmental and political risks inherent to the country's current mining rush. |
