In 2016 the Colombian government and the country's most important guerrilla group - the FARC - signed a peace agreement that included the "definitive solution to the problem of illicit crops". That solution has not arrived.
We tracked the design and implementation of the substitution program (PNIS) included in the peace agreement using an original set of in-depth interviews, press reviews and archival material, all of which were collected in different rounds of fieldwork between 2018 and 2020 in Bogotá and three coca growing regions.
We show that, as a product of several political pressures, the peace agreement introduced modifications to the standing policy against illicit crops that were favorable to peacebuilding, but also retained regressive aspects of that policy. However, following a shift in the balance of power, the policy returned to what it was during the war period.
We conclude by discussing the importance of developing a research agenda that explores both resistances to change in illicit crops policy, and the political coalitions needed to make change sustainable.
2016 年,哥伦比亚政府与该国最重要的游击队组织——哥伦比亚革命武装力量(FARC)签署了一项和平协议,其中包括“彻底解决非法作物问题”。但这个解决方案尚未实现。
我们使用一组原始的深入访谈、新闻评论和档案材料,跟踪了和平协议中包含的替代计划(PNIS)的设计和实施情况,这些材料都是在 2018 年至 2020 年期间在波哥大和三个古柯种植地区的不同轮次实地工作中收集的。
我们表明,作为多种政治压力的产物,和平协议对打击非法作物的现行政策进行了修改,这些修改有利于和平建设,但也保留了该政策的倒退方面。然而,在权力平衡发生转变后,该政策又回到了战争时期的状态。
我们最后讨论了制定一个研究议程的重要性,该议程既要探讨非法作物政策变革的阻力,又要探讨实现变革可持续性所需的政治联盟。
