ACERO VARGAS, Camilo; PARADA HERNANDEZ***, María Mónica y MACHUCA PEREZ, Diana Ximena. THE NARCOTIZATION OF PEACE: DECISIONS, PRESSURES AND INSTITUTIONAL DESIGN OF THE COMPREHENSIVE NATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR THE SUBSTITUTION OF ILLICIT CROPS. anal.polit. [online]. 2019, vol.32, n.97, pp.114-135. ISSN 0121-4705. https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v32n97.87195.
As part of the solution to the drug problem, the Peace Accord between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrillas contemplated the creation of a policy for the substitution of illicit crops in its point 4. In this article we trace in detail the decision-making process and the political debates that led to the design of this policy. We argue that the content of point 4 of the agreement was contradictory because it sought to make compatible two different strategies for confronting the problem: state-building and transformation of coca-growing territories, and “war on drugs. Later, with the increase in internal and external political pressures due to the increase in illicit crops, the government and the FARC redefined the policy. With the desire to show results in reducing the area planted with coca, they opted to leave aside the long term commitment to territorial transformation and favor the immediacy of the decrease in illicit crops. Thus, the policy became unsustainable.
