description In recent years, Colombia has grown as a protagonist in the realities of Latin America. The country is in a favorable geographical position because it is located in the northern corner of South America, which allows it to interact not only regionally with South America but also with Central America and the Caribbean. In addition, the recent peace agreement with an insurgent group and the power vacuum left by its demobilization have developed regional opportunities and threats not only at the national level, but also the impact of transnational criminal organizations at the regional level. Taking into account a constructivist approach to international security and following the concepts of “Regional Security Complex” (CSR) and “Medium Oceanic Power”, the present manuscript analyzes how the Colombian government has been interacting with other states in the Caribbean Watersheds Region to generate common security and defense conditions.

The country is in a favorable geographical position because it is located in the northern corner of South America, which allows it to interact not only regionally with South America but also with Central America and the Caribbean. In addition, the recent peace agreement with an insurgent group and the power vacuum left by its demobilization have developed regional opportunities and threats not only at the national level, but also the impact of transnational criminal organizations at the regional level. Taking into account a constructivist approach to international security and following the concepts of “Regional Security Complex” (CSR) and “Medium Oceanic Power”, the present manuscript analyzes how the Colombian government has been interacting with other states in the Caribbean Watersheds Region to generate common security and defense conditions. En los últimos años, Colombia ha crecido como protagonista en las realidades de América Latina. El país se encuentra en una posición geográfica favorable al encontrarse en la esquina norte de América del Sur, lo que le permite interactuar no solo regionalmente con Sudamérica sino también con Centro América y el Caribe. Además, el reciente acuerdo de paz con un grupo insurgente y el vacío de poder que dejó su desmovilización han desarrollado oportunidades regionales y amenazas no solo a nivel nacional, sino también se debe considerar el impacto de organizaciones delictivas transnacionales a nivel regional. Teniendo en cuenta un enfoque constructivista de seguridad internacional y siguiendo los conceptos de “Complejo de Seguridad Regional” (CSR) y “Poder Medio Oceánico”, el presente manuscrito realiza un análisis acerca de cómo el gobierno colombiano ha venido interactuando con otros estados en la Región de la Cuenca del Caribe para generar condiciones de seguridad y defensa común.
