Los Laboratorios de Paz han sido programas de cooperación al desarrollo por parte de actores internacionales como la Unión Europea en países con conflicto armado interno como Colombia. Concretamente, los diálogos de paz adelantados en el segundo decenio del siglo XXI entre el Gobierno Nacional y la guerrilla de las FARC permiten considerar la factibilidad de construir Laboratorios de Paz con la participación de la comunidad internacional en escenarios de postconflicto armado en Colombia. El caso del municipio de Viotá, Cundinamarca, el cual se encuentra en un proceso complejo de reconstrucción de su tejido social, representa la oportunidad de diseñar, formular e implementar un Laboratorio de Paz capaz de ser sostenible en una etapa de postconflicto en el país. Para ello, será fundamental contar con el apoyo de actores sociales e instancias de carácter local, regional, nacional e internacional en aras de que esta experiencia pueda ser replicada en otros municipios de Colombia.

The Pacific Rim has become a high-value geostrategic region because of the growing interdependence in its dynamics of political and economic cooperation. The international and regional cooperation systems continue their transformation since the early twenty first century, therefore it is quite relevant to be attuned with these processes. In recent years, Colombia has designed various strategies for international integration in the Asia-Pacific region within its Trans-Pacific foreign policy. It is essential for actors and interest groups to make a diagnosis to establish a forward-looking strategy to diversify the agenda of relations with this region. The purpose is to ensure a better understanding of the next transpacific cooperation schemes.

Colombian foreign policy towards the Pacific Basin has focused on the participation in the regional economic cooperation system. From the late 1980s until today, there have been different results that have influenced the country's international insertion strategies. Specifically, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) constitutes one of the main scenarios for economic and political dialogue with East Asian and Oceania countries. In the construction process of this public policy, state and non-state actors have accumulated to carry out the proposed guidelines for this region. It is fundamental to articulate a systematic international insertion agenda that allows weighing all the challenges that TPP offers in a region with high political and economic interdependence within the international system of the early twenty-first century.
