Presentación FODEIN 2020 Análisis de las relaciones diplomáticas Colombia-China: obstáculos, potencialidades y desafíos para una asociación estratégica (2000-2020)

Abstract

Within the framework of four decades of official relations between Colombia and China, it is of the utmost importance to carry out a diagnosis of the achievements, shortcomings and challenges present in bilateral diplomatic relations, with a view to identifying the obstacles and possibilities that Colombia has for achieve the status of strategic partner of the Asian country, in the context of Sino-Latin American relations and the transformations and stakes of Colombian foreign policy. Starting from a descriptive and analytical qualitative approach, a critical analysis of Colombian relations is proposed, with emphasis on the political dimension, supported by two theoretical-conceptual frameworks: the constructivist paradigm and the conceptual category of strategic association, fundamental to understand the degree of relevance that China attaches in its bilateral ties.
