The political landscapes of Bolivia and Peru have been impacted by
the emergence of cocaleros as political actors. The experiences of
these cocaleros have been strikingly different in the two
countries: their paths, empowerment, and impact have varied
significantly in scope and intensity. In Bolivia, cocaleros formed
a social movement, launched a political party, and brought together
a broad coalition that led to the election of their main leader as
Bolivia's first indigenous president. In Peru, cocaleros formed a
social movement in spite of serious obstacles, but then failed to
articulate and act upon a unified political agenda. This book
examines the different experiences of the Bolivian and Peruvian
cocaleros, who became empowered through contentious action that
originated in the defense of coca--an issue that is both
de-legitimizing and divisive. In doing so, it illustrates how coca,
an internationally criminalized good, affected the path and outcome
of cocalero empowerment in each case.
