Teoría y práctica de las relaciones internacionales: el caso de Colombia

The purpose of this paper is to explain the theoretical and practical evolution of international relations in the case of Colombia. The approach used, in the first place, is to approach the subject from the discipline of international relations, considering the very limited amount of research works on this discipline that has been published in the country, which makes a systematic and in-depth evaluation very difficult. For this, the topic is presented from two angles: a) Through a critical balance of the literature on the international relations of Colombia; and b) By specifying the basic features of the international praxis of various governments. For this, the last 70 years are covered with greater emphasis, and at both levels.
