This relationship has consisted of an international cooperation in terms of security, economy, justice and the fight against the illegal cultivation, their eradication, and drug trafficking. Thus, the objective of the present article is to analyze two of the latest programs which outline the bilateral cooperation between Bogotá and Washington: “Plan Colombia” and “Paz Colombia”. On the other hand, the challenges and opportunities as a feature in the new era of international cooperation for Colombia will be evaluated, taking into account the post-conflict context. Agreeing to the considerations above, the new stage will be determined, and a possible wide spectrum of international cooperation would start for Colombia.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>Keywords:</strong> Bilateral cooperation, Plan Colombia, Peace Colombia, challenges, opportunities.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Revista Internacional de Cooperación y Desarrollo}, author={Vergara Barrios, Martin José}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={262–281} }
