Rezensionen

"This is a stimulating and timely collection that analyzes the impact of the shift from the war on drugs to the war on terror in US policy towards Colombia, the arms race this has precipitated in northern South America, and why a successful regional peace initiative on the Central American model is not at present an option for settling the war in Colombia. This book also sheds new light on indigenous social movements in Colombia and ethnic and on cultural approaches to understanding the root causes of the Colombian conflict; furthermore, it provides a multifaceted perspective on the nature and impact of the drug trade on the country s economy, society, culture and international relations. Clear, compelling, and insightful, this book deserves a wide audience." - Catherine LeGrand, McGill University
