This paper provides a general framework of lecture which furnishes some criteria on the two themes that are in the center of the regional worries and generate geopolitical tensions in the hemisphere. On one side, the economical globalization and its concrete hemispherical expression, the Americas Area of Free Trade and on the other hand the global strategy of Washington against international terrorism and its consequences for Colombia and for the continent. In the trade as well as the security themes, Colombia plays a significant role in the hemispheric frame. In this sense, the article provides information on the international contexts that the country is imbedded: the strategy that Brazil prepares for the AAFT, Chavez's Venezuela , the Colombia Plan and the Bush doctrine of "preventive war" against international terrorism.

Keywords : globalization; economy; security.
