| contents | COLOMBIA-VENEZUELA BORDER: SECURITISATION OF MIGRATION AND VENEZUELA'S POLITICAL CRISIS Suzette A. Haughton Cush Sewell Lewis Relaciones Internacionales Colombia Venezuela Border drug trafficking migration and securitization Colombia and Venezuela share a geographical border of 1,274 miles. Although both countries have historically had contentious border crossings, the antagonistic nature of migration across the borderlands has increased following Venezuela's current internal political crisis. The article argues that Venezuela's political climate has led to further securitisation of migration across the Colombian-Venezuelan border. It supports this argument in three ways. First, the article discusses the border as both a geographical and a man-made border. It also examines the similarities and differences that exist across the Colombian-Venezuelan border. The countries share the same language, Spanish, which unites the region and its diverse peoples with a shared history. Nevertheless, socio-economic, environmental and cultural differences widen the dividing lines between these two nations.Second, the article explores the border crossing (migration) trends. The article further discusses the effects and reasons for such border crossings. Third, it explains the securitisation theory and uses it to discuss how the border has become increasingly securitised by local and international actors. Finally, the article calls for a de-securitised approach to cross-border migration. In this regard, the article supports greater bilateral, regional and international cooperation to address the plight of people crossing the border and living in border regions. 2024 artículo científico 1657-7558 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=53179932006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/531/53179932006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/531/53179932006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/531/53179932006/53179932006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/531/53179932006/movil 10.18601/16577558.n40.07 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=531 OASIS application/pdf Universidad Externado de Colombia OASIS (Colombia) Num.40 |
