Génesis, presente y futuro del vínculo Colombia-Turquía: de economías emergentes a aliados estratégicos

Turkey has projected itself as a middle power through a rapprochement with the global South since the beginning of the 2000s when it embarked on a multifaceted foreign policy and developed relations not only with Europe, but also with the rest of the world, identifying Latin America as one of its priorities. The Bogota-Ankara relations show an evolution in the external actions of both nations and, after more than a decade of deepening political, economic and cultural relations, it is pertinent to examine the level of rapport achieved. The purpose of the article is to observe how the nations that are part of the global South have stimuli for new approaches that account for the strengthening of relations in the periphery. The hypothesis is that Ankara and Bogota, benefiting from a structure that is moving towards multipolarity, have projected themselves as emerging economies on the basis of fundamental internal changes. Foreign policy does not always obey a planned strategy, but rather responds to external stimuli and internal changes, as has been the case with the Colombian-Turkish rapprochement.
