Abstract
VARGAS-ALZATE, Luis Fernando; SOSA, Santiago and RODRIGUEZ-RIOS, Juan David. Trade as the Platform of Colombian Foreign Policy during the Juan Manuel Santos Administration. colomb.int. [online]. 2012, n.76, pp.259-292. ISSN 0121-5612.
This paper analyzes Colombia's foreign policy during the first year of the Santos administration from a liberal perspective. It explores the relation between the country's international commerce and its diplomatic actions by using statistical data and official and academic reports about the contemporary international relations. The authors argue that the commercial liberalism is a useful perspective for the analysis of Colombia's current foreign policy, especially by using the concept of the capitalist peace because the authors have found in commerce a basic platform for the country's international relations.
Keywords : Colombia; foreign policy; liberalism; trade.
