GUTIERREZ SANIN, Francisco; MACHUCA PEREZ, Diana Ximena  and  CRISTANCHO, Sebastián. ¿PROGRAMMED OBSOLESCENCE? THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUBSTITUTION AND ITS INCONSISTENCIES. anal.polit. [online]. 2019, vol.32, n.97, pp.136-160. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v32n97.87197.

The Colombian peace agreement gives an explicit role and great centrality to a complex public policy of substitution (with the name of Integral National Program of Substitution of Illicit Use Crops, PNIS). We will argue that the State has systematically and massively failed to implement the programme from the outset. With the arrival in power of President Duque, in some crucial ways it has been dismantled. We argue that the problems of the PNIS are related to the complex game of political coalitions associated with the attempt to rethink anti-drug policy as an instrument of peace rather than war. Our analysis emphasizes the political process, the nature of the coalitions, the contingency and the temporal sequences in the implementation of the Peace Agreement.

Keywords : Illicit crops; Substitution; Policies; Colombia.
