Abstract
La performatividad es un aspecto fundamental de la política exterior. En el caso colombiano, una mezcla teatral de acciones y retórica se entrelaza con la aspiración gubernamental a que el país represente el papel de un “buen miembro” del Orden Liberal Internacional (OIL). Esto afecta las percepciones de tomadores de decisiones sobre los intereses nacionales; al tiempo, la actuación desplegada contribuye a la co-constitución y legitimación del OIL. En este artículo ilustramos cómo los gobernantes colombianos dirigen sus actuaciones para posicionarse en este escenario, cómo identifican audiencias relevantes, cómo desarrollan guiones, y cómo despliegan su performance. Usamos este marco teórico para interpretar dos casos sustanciales en la política exterior colombiana: la respuesta a la migración venezolana y la llamada “guerra contras las drogas”. Concluimos recalcando cómo las actuaciones de estados no hegemónicos, como Colombia, están atravesadas por múltiples significados, no necesariamente fijos, útiles para gestionar su estatus a escala internacional.
Performativity is a fundamental aspect of foreign policy. In the Colombian case, foreign policy elites aspire for the country to occupy the role of a “good member” of the Liberal International Order (LIO), which they enact through a mix of theatrical actions and rhetoric. This performative aspiration shapes foreign policymakers’ perceptions of national interests; at the same time, the country’s performance contributes to the co-constitution and legitimation of the LIO. In this article, we illustrate how Colombian officials guide their actions to position the country in this “scene,” how they identify relevant audiences, how they develop scripts, and how they deploy their performance. We use this theoretical framework to interpret two important cases of Colombian foreign policy: the international response to Venezuelan migration and the so-called “war on drugs.” We conclude by highlighting how the performance of non-hegemonic states, like Colombia, take on multiple and flexible meanings, which help manage their international status.
