The citizen security reconfiguration: The security and coexistence policy for football in Colombia

Abstract

Security policies are passing through a crucial time in which management strategies focused on crime, use of force and increasing clampdown on criminal matters, are inefficient in a scenario that promotes a normative spectrum linked to Human Rights seeking to insert the security as a condition for the construction of universal dignity in what the United Nations has called Human Security. This article is inserted in the current citizen security policy debates, to evidence how concepts such as Civic Culture and Culture of Peace are an inexorable prerequisite for the transformation to a Human Security approach, issue that goes through the possibility of promoting such change from perspectives that understand the conflicts in a broader and interdisciplinary manner. In order to this, the policy for security and coexistence for football in Colombia will be analyzed so as to have a practical and concrete example that will allow to evidence the expressed theoretical approaches and also because football has great social importance (economic, political and cultural) in Colombia.
