COOPERACIóN INTERNACIONAL DESCENTRALIZADA PARA LA GESTIóN PúBLICA DEPARTAMENTAL Y MUNICIPAL EN COLOMBIA

this article estimates the possibilities of the departments and municipalities in colombia for appropriating the pragmatic principles of international decentralized cooperation, as basis for the foundation of the model of public local-global governance. recently, the state's position gave an important swing towards the direct promotion of the principles of cooperation in the inside of the structure of local entities. the launching of the idea depends on the clarity and understanding to address the matter by the local (councils) and regional (assemblies) public corporations, in accordance with a programmatic agenda defined by its own initiative or on the perspective of the subjects derived from the development plans. as a result, nowadays two capital cities with their respective departments stand out: bogotá-cundinamarca and medellin-antioquia, as they have moved forward in the territorial framework of decentralized cooperation, only needing its transit in the less privileged territorial entities.
