LAMPIS, Andrea. What about Social Vulnerability in Colombia? Connecting "freedom from" and "freedom to". Soc. Econ. [online]. 2010, n.19, pp.229-261. ISSN 1657-6357.
This paper has two main objectives, both related to an interest in counteracting the domination of income-centred approaches to poverty in Colombia. The first is to reconstruct the historical and conceptual steps of the research stream that developed a reflection on assets, livelihoods and vulnerability. The second, to present the results of a case study carried out in 2006/7 in Bogotá, Cali and Manizales as far as the case of the Colombian capital is concerned. The analysis illustrates the relevance of a vulnerability approach to identify a connection between "freedom from" (critical life events) as a necessary element to achieve "freedom to" (improve people's capabilities).
