  • Summary

  • In order to understand the issue of the cocaine trade in Colombia, we need to look at three factors:

    1. Drugs Policy as a Geopolitical tool.
    2. Markets: A Political Economic issue.
    3. Narratives: the Myth of the Narco.

    On the Colombia Calling podcast this week we speak to Estefanía Ciro Rodríguez, expert on drug politics, the cocaine economy and the Colombian armed conflict. We discuss la Escombrera in Medellin, Pablo Escobar, Álvaro Uribe Vélez, Arms trafficking by the Sinaloa cartel and the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación to Colombia, genetically modified coca, cocaine seizures, the price of cocaine, and why Colombia as a nation needs to look in the mirror.
