总结:The proliferation of bilateral trade agreements has created a phenomenon known in the literature as “hub and spoke” bilateralism. In this context, Colombia’s trade policy is geared towards the signing of bilateral trade agreements. This article evaluates the policy of signing bilateral agreements implemented by Colombia between 1990 and 2015.
