Abstract
Analysts of Colombian foreign policy emphasise external constraints and presidential prerogative. We find evidence that these commonplace presidentialist assumptions are too deterministic and broadly applied. Drawing on insights from recent Foreign Policy Analysis literature and evidence from several cases (Plan Colombia, US military bases, free trade talks with China, and ICJ arbitration of a maritime border with Nicaragua), we propose a model that better captures how Colombian domestic actors mobilize to raise political costs to block or modify presidential preferences. When the opposition fails to raise costs, presidentialist assumptions apply. Otherwise, presidents respond strategically by abandoning or substituting second-best policies.
