• Subjects: During the last few years non-governmental actors have gained strength in seeking; in many cases; to promote sensibility and influence foreign policy. In their specific case; and unlike in other countries; the Colombian foreign policy decision-makers seldom interact with entities other than the State. In this article; a case study is examined in which the academic sector has been consulted on the characteristics of migrants and the design of a migratory foreign policy. By doing so; it seeks to examine the influence of the academic sector in the design and execution of said regulations. It concludes that its participation has been circumstantial; punctual and intermittent.
