Abstract: In 1988, Bolivia passed and implemented a strong anti-narcotics law. 1 The law was designed to help eradicate the flow of narcotics from the South American continent and has been successful, to some measure.Bolivia has made a remarkable transition during this decade from a trafficker-influenced military regime to a democratic government with a coca eradication program.Our certification decision is based on the fact that the 1988 record is the best annual performance to date . . .[They] exceeded the 1,800 hectare eradication target spelled out in our bilateral narcotic agreement signed in 1987 and began forcible eradication . . . .However, despite these efforts, total coca cultivation continued to increase t This article is based, in large part, on interviews conducted by the author throughout the Bolivian countryside.Many of the persons interviewed wish to remain unidentified for obvious reasons.We respect the author's wish to keep these identities confidential and have not included them in the applicable footnotes herein.
