Abstract

Abstract: Throughout the 21st century, Colombia went through several transformations in its domestic and foreign policy. Considered a discordant voice in South American integration project at the dawn of the new century, the neighboring nation leaned toward the region from 2010, aiming to reduce the distance and integrate more actively into South American processes by projecting a renewed identity. Adds to this scenario the peace agreement signed with FARC armed group, which helped to change perceptions about the country. This article analyzes the internal political processes that affected Colombia during this new century (2000-2019) as well as its relationship with the countries of the region and their insertion in South American integration projects. To this end, the governments of Andrés Pastrana (1998-2002), Álvaro Uribe (2002-2010) and Juan Manuel Santos (2010-2018) are analyzed. Finally, the on going changes and challenges faced by the new president, Iván Duque (2018-2019), in domestic and foreign policy are presented with special emphasis on South American policy.
