The regionalization process in Colombia has several similarities with the process of regionalization in France. Based on a comparative study, the paper presents the development of the process, taking into account the origins from the colonial time, the constitutional reforms up to the LOOT. In each step, I analyze the influence of the revolutionary and Napoleonic model and the current status of the regions in France. It ends with a conclusion which remarks the long path we have yet to go through before we accomplish the real purpose of the regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
