Abstract
La región del Sahel es una encrucijada de desafíos interrelacionados que acumula una amplia tipología de debilidades: subdesarrollo, pobreza, inseguridad, corrupción, conflictos étnicos, Estados frágiles y economías dependientes. Todos estos factores la convierten en una zona de fricción que puede abocar a conflictos diversos. El objetivo de este artículo es identificar los factores de índole geopolítica que caracterizan el desarrollo y la seguridad humana de esta región de frontera, que están impidiendo a los países del Sahel superar la consideración de Estados frágiles. El resultado de este estudio indica que la región no podrá transformar las vulnerabilidades que la caracterizan en dinámicas positivas si no se actúa en tres planos: participación de la población, refuerzo de las instituciones y promoción de la cooperación.
The Sahel region is a crossroads of interrelated challenges that accumulate a broad typology of weaknesses: underdevelopment, poverty, insecurity, corruption, ethnic conflicts, fragile states and dependent economies. All these factors make it a friction zone that can lead to diverse conflicts. The objective of this article is to identify the geopolitical factors that characterize the development and human security of this frontier region, which are preventing the Sahel countries to avoid the consideration of fragile states. The result of this study indicates that the region will not be able to transform the vulnerabilities that characterize it into positive dynamics if one does not act on three levels: population participation, institution building and cooperation promotion
