Medicina, ciencia e interpretación de las convenciones internacionales de drogas
The conventions of the UN international drug control system limit the uses of controlled substances to medical and scientific purposes, but do not define the meaning of this expression means. This situation generates a legal gap or lacunae that makes it impossible to determine whether a policy complies with the international conventions. These conventions were written without considering the modern criteria for the interpretation of treaties and …
Mexican Drug “Cartels”
The story of Mexico’s drug trafficking and today’s unprecedented violence cannot be told without mentioning the United States. This essay offers a historical analysis of the emergence, evolution, and growing power and influence of Mexican drug organizations exploiting the shadows and gaps of the relationship between the two countries. The groups are dubbed “cartels” though they no longer operate like cartels in the traditional sense. They have be…
Organized Crime in Colombia
Given the high profitability of the illegal cocaine industry, traditional economic models would predict that coca would grow and cocaine be refined in every country that could do so. The concentration of the coca-cocaine industry in Colombia requires an explanation different from the existence of a high illegal cocaine demand. This essay explores the structural and institutional contexts of Colombian society that allowed the illegal drug industry…

Why The Illegal Psychoactive Drugs Industry Grew In Colombia
The Growth of the illegal, psychoactive drug industry has had a dramatic impact on Colombia. Most studies of the financial effects of this industry - mainly cocaine and its by products, but extending also to marijuana, quaaludes, other psychoactive substances, and, more recently, heroin - have focussed upon trying to estimate its size and determining its impact on the national economy. On the whole, the conclusion of most observers has been that …
The Hidden Logic of "Irrational" Economic Policies in Ecuador
Mainstream economists blame the poor 1980s economic performance of most Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries on the poor economic policies followed by the region for the past several decades and recommend drastic policy changes including (a) elimination of many subsidies, (b) lowering tariffs and other obstacles to international trade, (c) privatization of many state enterprises, (d) liberalization of capital markets and interest rates, a…
Bilateral trade flows and economic integration in Latin America and the Caribbean
Thwarted Comparative Advantage, Economic Policy and Industrialization in the Dominican Republic and Trinidad and Tobago
Economic growth and government policies in small Caribbean countries have been conditioned (1) by the very large fluctuations in their external sector which continuously change the relative profitability of the various productive sectors of their economies, greatly complicating the macroeconomics management of their economies; (2) by the attempts of their governments to cope with those fluctuations; and (3) by the political economy relations that…

Intraregional Trade of the Least-Developed-Members of Latin American Integration Systems
Differences in the degree of economic development and diversification among members of economic integration systems could easily create obstacles to economic integration, as they tend to have an impact on the distribution of costs and benefits of economic integration processes.There are several reasons why the Least Developed Members (LDMs) within integration movements in Latin America are likely to be losers in the integration processes taking p…
Human Rights Policy
Economic development-defined by growth of GNP per capita-among the poor countries of the world during the last 25 years has been higher than in almost any other period in mankind's history. Although this growth might have not been as high as that expected by some policy makers, the 1950-1975 period shows an overall improvement over the recent past. In spite of this apparent surge in growth, many policy makers and social scientists have shown disa…
