PRIETO, Germán Camilo  and  GIRALDO, María Carolina. COLOMBIA VIS-À-VIS REGIONAL INTEGRATION IN LATIN AMERICA: BETWEEN LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE AND PRECEDENCE TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES. anal.polit. [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.104, pp.244-269.  Epub Dec 14, 2022. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v35n104.105183.

While much has been written about Colombia’s alternation between two foreign policy directives—respice polum and respice similia—studies are scarce that analyze these directives in relation to the country’s actions towards different regional integration processes and projects in Latin America. This article offers a relevant contribution to filling this gap through a longitudinal view of Colombia’s actions in such projects. It shows that though precedence to the United States predominated in several moments, the country has also demonstrated initiative to lead processes aiming to strengthen regional integration and cooperation.
