🆕 How coca eradication undermined development in Colombia

Today on VoxDev, Daniela Horta Sáenz (Department of Economics, NHH Norwegian School of Economics) & Anderson Tami-Patiño (KIMEP) discuss the unintended consequences of Columbia's cocaine eradication programme: https://ow.ly/3s6450YOmLf
How coca eradication undermined development in Colombia
Destroying illicit crops at the source is meant to weaken criminal economies and create space for development. Evidence from Colombia's aerial glyphosate programme tells a different story: eradication triggered income shocks that pulled children out of school, with lasting effects on education, child labour, early marriage, and living standards – while achieving limited reductions in coca cultivation.

Is it time to codify the law on the use of force? Sergey Sayapin argues that the ILC should tackle the most controversial subject imaginable. Good luck with that! #UseOfForce opiniojuris.org/2025/08/12/t...
