| Publisher Description: Many factors have contributed to extreme political instability and violence in Colombia-the drug trade, a protracted insurgent conflict, corruption-but small arms proliferation remains one of the key underlying problems. The authors analyze the black- and gray-market sources of small/light arms, explosives, equipment, and materiel which are available to terrorist and insurgent organizations currently active in Colombia, as well as policy implications for the country and the United States. |
