Tiempos de seguridad democrática y acuerdos de paz frente a Estados Unidos

La premisa inicial supone que existe una ruptura en el lenguaje que expuso Juan Manuel Santos Calderón (2010-2018) en comparación al de Álvaro Uribe Vélez (2002-2010); puntualmente frente a temas sobre conflicto armado. Se intuye que dicho cambio generó una identidad distinta de Colombia durante cada gobierno frente a Estados Unidos. Para lo cual se usó la teoría del constructivismo y el Análisis Critico de Discurso como metodología. Encontrando tres conclusiones generales: 1) las identidades de Colombia durante los dos gobiernos mantienen políticas económicas y sociales de corte neo liberal y de estado democrático. 2) Tanto Uribe como Santos intentan promover acuerdos comerciales, luchar contra las drogas ilícitas y acabar con el conflicto armado interno, sin embargo, cada uno utilizó significados colectivos diferentes en sus discursos, asociados a la forma en que plantearon la solución. Y 3) La relación de Colombia frente a Estados Unidos no presentó ruptura; es decir, los dos gobiernos construyeron cercanía con el país del norte a partir de los intereses de política exterior y de los discursos

Abstract

The initial hypothesis assumes that there is a significant change in the speech used by Juan Manuel Santos Calderón (2010-2018) compared to the one Álvaro Uribe Vélez used during his term (2002-2010). The most drastic changes were on issues regarding Colombian armed conflict and it is believed that these changes were the base upon a different identity of Colombia facing the United States was built. The methodology used to analyze the lenguage shift was the theory of constructivism and critical discourse analysis, as a result the following conclusions were obtained: 1) The Colombian identities during both governments established neoliberal economic and social policies and maintained the democratic state. 2) Both Uribe and Santos promoted trade agreements, the fight against illicit drugs and the end of the internal armed conflict, however, each one utilized different collective meanings in their speeches, associated with the way they proposed the solution. And 3) Colombia's relationship with the United States was kept; The two governments built close international relations with the north american country based on foreign policy interests and their speeches
