GUTIERREZ SANIN, Francisco y BARON, Mauricio. Subsidiary orders, Coca, Emeralds: War and Peace. colomb.int. [online]. 2008, n.67, pp.102-129. ISSN 0121-5612.
This article explains how the emerald and coca economies are ingrained in the Colombian conflict. We interpret the mechanisms that generate conflict or peace, order or disorder. Our analysis is supported on Richard Snyder's model which offers analytical elements to understand how violent reaction and raw products exports correlate with each other. We conclude that the described economies have had very violent courses but have also opened up specific paths to peace, of which the prerequisites are the denial of democratic freedom, privatization of public economies, and the endorsement and strengthening of illegal or semi-legal actors. We also offer a critical assessment of Snyder's model.
