Territorial conflicts in the substitution of illicit crops

The catalysis of entropy politics

Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the perception of some leaders in the southern area of Córdoba, Sierra
Nevada de Santa Marta and Chocó, on the public policies used for the control and eradication of
coca, evidencing a return of some policies that were they were considered ineffective at the beginning
of the century and that today they are committed to stabilizing a territorial peace in some regions of
the country.
The increase in crops for illicit use, the systematic murder of social leaders, the lack of food security,
and decision-making by the national government, are some of the elements studied from the territorial
visions of the peasantry, which catalog policies such as Future Zones, the use of glyphosate, and
interventionism policies, such as catalytic and regressive policies, which are seen as a threat to the
consolidation of a territorial peace and generate mistrust in an already tremulous relationship between
the peasantry (system social) and government (political system).
