This Element explores three central elements to the interpretation of the interaction between drug trafficking and reconfiguration of the state in Colombia. This discusses the flaws of the state authority and the offensive of Marxist guerrillas since the early 80s, which shaped the oligopolies of coercion that drug traffickers later imposed.
