The democratic security policy adopted by President Alvaro Uribe during his term in office, resulted in a fundamental shift in the directions of the country after the failed peace process of the Pastrana government. In this sense, this paper seeks to demonstrate that the Political Science addressed the political phenomenon been contrary to the course of events, so that while the policy advocated by Democratic Security is an increase in the military offensive, the view from the Science Policy focused on how to get some peace talks or an agreed solution to the conflict. This, therefore, can be translated into a rejection of the prevailing point of view as an alternative approach in the study of national political reality. Political Analysis, Colombia International Political Role and Policy Studies published during the period from 2002 to 2012: To prove this, a literature review applied to scholarly articles in four journals of Political Science of the country is done.
