A large amount of resources have been spent on the "war on drugs" in Colombia under the program "Plan Colombia." However, the amount of cocaine reaching consumer countries remains relatively stable after seven years, and the price of cocaine at different stages has not risen. Thus policies such as this one, aimed at reducing the amount of drugs reaching consumers by curtailing production and trafficking, have been relatively ineffective. The first independent evaluation of the anti-drug policies implemented under Plan Colombia, The War on Illegal Drug Production and Trafficking: An Economic Evaluation of Plan Colombia evaluates the costs, efficiency, effectiveness, and future prospects of the war against illegal drug production and trafficking under Plan Colombia. The results from this paper should help policymakers shape more effective (and less costly) anti-drug policies and, hopefully, encourage future research in order to evaluate the costs and benefits of alternative policies, such as demand side controls (treatment and prevention policies) or the legalization (with the appropriate controls) of illegal drugs. The War on Illegal Drug Production and Trafficking is published by Universidad de los Andes Centro de Estudios sobre Desarrollo Economico (Center of Studies on Economic Development), a grantee of the Open Society Institute.

This book presents evidence that drug policies impose high costs on poor transit and producer countries. It argues that, in the face of great uncertainty about the benefits of alternative drug policies, those with lower social costs should receive greater emphasis.

We model the war on drugs in source countries as a conflict over scarce inputs of successive levels of the production and trafficking chain. We explicitly model the vertical structure of the drug trade as being composed of several stages, and study how different policies aimed at different stages affect the supply, prices and input markets. We use the model to study Plan Colombia, a large scale intervention in Colombia aimed at reducing the supply of cocaine by targeting illicit crops and illegal armed groups' control of the routes used to transport drugs outside of the country -- two of the main inputs of the production and trafficking chain.The model fits many of the patterns found in the data and sheds light on certain puzzling findings. For a reasonable set of parameters that match well the data on the war on drugs under Plan Colombia, our model predicts that the marginal cost to the U.S. of reducing the amount of cocaine transacted in retail markets by one kilogram is $1,631.900 if resources are allocated to eradication efforts; and $267.450 per kilogram if resources are allocated to interdiction efforts.

This book examines the geographic displacement of the illicit drug industry as a side effect of United States foreign policy. To reduce the supply of cocaine and heroin from abroad, the US has relied on coercion against farmers, traffickers and governments, but this has only exacerbated the world's drugs problems.US Foreign Policy and the War on Dr

This text explains the punitive trend in Mexican anti-drug policies as a political imperative, an out-growth of the perceived need both to counter the growth of the illegal drug market and to prevent US police and judicial authorities from acting as a surrogate justice system in Mexico.
