Summary: This article presents an analysis of Colombian foreign policy in the period from 2002 to 2018 using three basic variables: the internation­alization of the armed conflict, the strategic alliances of the country in the international context, and the Foreign Service. In summary, the sixteen years of presidential administration show that the strategy of internationaliza­tion of the armed conflict chosen by the two presidents in that period determined in a great extent the strategic alliances formed by the country. Thus, whereas Uribe Vélez privileged bilateralism with United States, Santos Calde­ron had better relations with Latin America and the European Union in order to finance and buoy the negotiation process with the Farc. With regard to the Foreign Service, even though there is continuity in its lack of profes­sionalization, the Government of Juan Manuel Santos had important gestures in the strength­ening of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
