Abstract
ALFONSO-ROA, Óscar Alfredo; GRANADOS-ZAMBRANO, Jairo Alejandro and TELLEZ-BARBOSA, Laura Sofía. Transhumant crops, operating policies. A balance on coca-growing activity in Colombia, 1998-2017. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.6-33. ISSN 1657-6357. https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i39.8560.
After 20 years of programs aimed at the definitive eradication of coca bush crops, coca activity does not cease. The objective of this investigation is to argue that one of the reasons for transhumance of crops that, ceteris paribus the presence of irregular armed groups, is a strategy of its commercial promoters: drug traffickers. Through measures of spatial autocorrelation it seeks to demonstrate the existence of such a phenomenon, concluding on the need for alternative policies to prevent the proliferation of violence and harm to health and the environment.
