Advances in security and consolidation of the legitimate monopoly of force to combat terrorist groups led to a deterioration in relations with other actors in the region, while Colombia provided an image of development and progress towards other countries of the world in the region sector defense. Through the theory of international relations, explain and describe the state's performance during the same period to understand from the perspective of neorealism and subaltern realism the application in foreign policy and state policy.
