Rural cocaine elites and resilient clandestine connections in Peru's high Amazonia
Narco- Territoriality and Shadow Powers in a Peruvian Cocaine Frontier
Whereas cocaine kingpins are often portrayed as key protagonists and perpetrators of violence in Latin America, in Peru’s Upper Huallaga they are also important powerholders who have formed dynamic systems of governance by dominating socio-economic resources and legitimating their narco-territoriality through arrangements with a variety of “shadow powers.” Although potentially violent armed actors, whether insurgents or the police and military, o…
Cocaine Flows and the State in Peru's Amazonian Borderlands
In Peru, eradication campaigns targeting coca crops in the Upper Huallaga have dispersed the country's drug trade over vast parts of the Bajo Amazonas region. In order to understand this dispersal it is necessary to map the relocations of coca cultivations or shifts in smuggling routes, but also to examine the array of micro-practices, relations, groups and networks that generate 'drug flows'. By following different key actors, this article explo…
We Are Constructing” Peace: Local Conflict Legacies and Postconflict Reconstruction in a Peruvian Cocaine Enclave, 2003–2007

In the Upper Huallaga's rural areas, new Peruvian small-scale firmas established forms of power and domination. This article provides a broader u…
