This Element introduces the concept of oligopoly of coercion to
interpretate the interaction between drug trafficking and
reconfiguration of the state in Colombia. Three elements are
central to this interpretation: corruption in oligopolies of
coercion must be understood as a payment by drug traffickers for
acting like a parallel state; the state criminalizes more drug as
merchandise than drug as capital - its equivalent in money; the
politics and war around drug trafficking in Colombia should be
understood as the way in which peripheral societies access global
markets through the ruling institutions of private armies. With
these elements, the author focuses on the dynamics of the
reconfiguration of the state in Colombia after the cocaine boom in
the mid-70s and the evolution of the private armies in Colombia.
