Resumen
During the two presidential terms of Juan Manuel Santos, Colombian foreign policy focused on solidifying, through the involvement of international actors, the negotiations that were taking place with the former guerrilla of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (farc-ep, after the initials in Spanish). In the present text, the author analyzes the process of internationalization of the peace process and the subsequent implementation of what was agreed upon through the two-level game theory. Thus, it is considered that the organization of Colombian foreign policy around the solidification of the Dialogues of Havana responded to the need to consolidate them, give them legitimacy among the population and guarantee the implementation of what was agreed upon. In addition, through concrete actions and the process of internationalization itself, a kind of 'international armor' was built, which establishes restrictions from international politics on the possibility of reversing the provisions of the Agreement.
