Pola Patronasi Amerika Serikat Studi Kasus: Plan Colombia Tahun 1999 – 2005
ABSTRACT: This research aims
to describe the patronage pattern performed by the United States to Colombia in
efforts to combat drugs trafficking. As a form of transnational crime, drugs
trafficking has caused negative impact on the United States, it attacks the
stability of the United States’ national security. On the other side, Colombia
was seeking a way to reduce the chaos in the country which is caused by the
drugs cartels. In 1999 the Government of Colombia created a development program
named Plan Colombia to bring the peace back. Nevertheless, Colombia could not
perform the program effectively without aids from other countries or the
international community. The United States saw an opportunity to build an
international cooperation through Plan Colombia based on some of the points
that matched to the United States’ goal to combat drugs trafficking. The United
States considered that by being the patron on Plan Colombia, the program could
be optimally implemented.
