Antidrug policies and the need to confront the colombian vulnerabilities

None of the prevalent paradigms helps explain why the great majority of countries that can cultivate coca and corn poppy and produce cocaine and heroin do not make it, that is, why the illegal production of those drugs is so concentrated being so profitable; or why in the countries where traditional...

description None of the prevalent paradigms helps explain why the great majority of countries that can cultivate coca and corn poppy and produce cocaine and heroin do not make it, that is, why the illegal production of those drugs is so concentrated being so profitable; or why in the countries where traditional cultivations of coca were common, big dealing organizations did not occur. It is not either explained why illegal drug abuse has tended to be concentrated in few countries, or why in some countries stimulants are primarily abused while in others narcotics are mainly consumed; why antidrug policies show unsatisfactory results and which would be the effects of applying other policies; why, in spite of the fact that Bolivia and Peru previously had extensive and rooted cultivations of coca, the powerful traffickers did not appear there but in Colombia. This article proposes a new paradigm. In order to advance in that direction, the literature of criminology on the reasons for somebody to commit crimes is researched. Then some basic questions are sought to be answered: Which factors contribute to criminality? Are there enough causes or factors for the development of illegal industries or only some necessary factors and other simply contributive ones? Once the answers to these questions are obtained it would be possible to proceed to evaluate the effectiveness of antidrug policies. Some conclusions are summarized at the end.

Tampoco explican por qué el consumo de drogas ilegales ha tendido a estar concentrado en pocos países, o por qué en algunos países se consumen primordialmente estimulantes mientras que en otros se consumen más que todo narcóticos; por qué las políticas contra las drogas tienen resultados poco satisfactorios y cuáles serían los efectos de otras políticas; por qué a pesar de que Bolivia y Perú tenían cultivos de coca extensos y arraigados, los grandes traficantes no surgieron en ellos sino en Colombia. En este artículo se propone un nuevo paradigma. Para avanzar en esa dirección, se investiga la literatura de la criminología sobre las razones por las que alguien comete crímenes. A continuación se busca responder preguntas básicas: ¿Qué factores contribuyen a la criminalidad? ¿Hay causas o factores suficientes para el desarrollo de las industrias ilegales o solamente algunos factores necesarios y otros que contribuyen a su desarrollo? Una vez obtenidas las respuestas a estas preguntas es posible proceder a evaluar la efectividad de las políticas contra las drogas. Al final se resumen algunas conclusiones.application/pdfspaIEPRI, Universidad Nacional de Colombiahttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/anpol/article/view/45814Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Análisis PolíticoAnálisis PolíticoAnálisis Político; Vol. 22, núm. 67 (2009); 60-82 0121-4705Thoumi, Francisco E.
