O narcotráfico na Colômbia e a implementação do Plano Colômbia no início dos anos 2000

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the historical development of drug trafficking in Colombia, as well as its national and international impacts that culminated in the elaboration of Plan Colombia in the years 2000. The formation of the Colombian State is characterized by constant periods of power dispute and influence in the attempt to contain the conflicts and their repercussions in other countries, as we will see in the case of the spread of illicit drugs from Latin America to the United States. The Colombian State's inability to solve the problem of narcotics trafficking due to historical factors is evident, which makes room for external interventions, as in the case of the implementation of Plan Colombia with the United States.
