The Andean Strategy: America's Drug Bust?
Abstract
The Andean Strategy was developed and implemented in 1989, as part of the President's National Drug Control Strategy. As the international arm of the President's strategy, the Andean plan was designed to reduce the amounts of illicit drugs entering the United States. It is aimed at supporting the principal cocaine source countries--Colombia, Peru and Bolivia--in their efforts to control and defeat the drug trade. In addition to reducing the cocaine flow into the United States, the key objectives are to strengthen the capability and effectiveness of these countries to disrupt and dismantle the trafficking organizations. This paper intends to assess the effectiveness and viability of the Andean Strategy to achieve its objectives.
