Abstract
GALEANO DAVID, Héctor José. Patrimonial policies to the Colombian Amazon, central hub for integrated development. memorias [online]. 2012, n.18, pp.196-218. ISSN 1794-8886.
Public policies' main objective is to define the social and economic course that the national government must pursue to resolve the various issues that thoroughly affect society. In the vast natural wealth of Colombia, the Amazonia is emphasized for its territorial dimension and diversity in resources. However, there are many, both exogenous and endogenous, factors which have gradually eroded its wealth that makes one consider the rethinking of public policy toward an area that, because of its relevance in terms of resources, is observed with attention by various actors in the international scene. The objective of this writing is to analyze from the economic, patrimonial and foreign policy standpoints, the development of public policies that the central government has implemented in the Amazonia, considered as a region, from the geopolitical perspective, of strategic value to Colombia.
