Abstract
This research characterizes the trajectories traversed by the Colombian Foreign Policy (CFP) in different historical periods, exposing the incidence, scope and interaction of domestic and external variables on its development. The thesis is based primarily on the academic literature review and data analysis, which identify the central aspects impacting the development of the CFP. The first part of the thesis examines the historical context and the political-institutional aspects preceding the development of the CFP. The second part focuses on the latest state of affairs of the CFP, highlighting the socio-economic and geographical aspects, the Colombia-United States relations, the internal armed conflict and the evolution of Colombian Foreign Policy on human rights and International Humanitarian Law. Thus, considering lines of continuity and change in the CFP, the final observations drawn from this investigation outline the scope, interaction and impact of domestic and international variables (intermestic) on the trajectories of Colombian foreign policy (PEC) in the governmental periods discussed throughout this dissertation. The thesis is descriptive, explanatory and documentary, using the Foreign Policy Analysis (APE) as schematic framework of research and theoretical dimension.
