This article analyses the formulation and implementation of post-conflict policies in Colombia in relation to the section 4 of the Peace agreement between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP), which talks about “Solutions to illicit drug problems” based on the critical approach focused on peace building (Liberal Peace VS Hybrid Peace) suggested by Oliver Richmond (2015). The analysis develops from a methodology on qualitative approach, a balance from public politics and a systematization of contrasted data based on theoretical approaches. It is argued that, despite the hybrid and contextualized notion evidenced by the agreement on confronting illicit crops, in practice, the implementation of PNIS responds to the mono-ontological and technocratic notion of Neoliberal peace. This has been expressed in the short term (2016 - 2020) through two variables: 1. The targeting of spending as a solution to the problem of crops. 2. Community legitimizing participation of the liberal vision in the implementing of the territorial collective agreements.

Keywords : Negotiated Peace; Post-Conflict; Illicit Drugs; Substitution of Illicit Crops; Hybrid Peace; Colombia.
