传统的政策和学术论述通常认为拉丁美洲的非法毒品经济与暴力和不稳定是协同的。过渡后玻利维亚(1982-1993年)的情况颠覆了这种假设。运用政治经济学的方法，本文超越了主流分析，研究玻利维亚的毒品贸易是如何与治理、秩序和政治过渡的非正式形式交织在一起的。我认为，国家毒品网络--玻利维亚威权时代的遗留问题--在这些复杂的过程中发挥了重要作用。在追踪这些相互作用的演变过程中，文章在一个研究不足的案例中，对国家和毒品贸易之间的关系提出了一种更微妙的理论。
Conventional policy and academic discourses have generally held illicit drug economies in Latin America to be synergistic with violence and instability. The case of post-transition Bolivia (1982–1993) confounds such assumptions. Applying a political economy approach, this article moves beyond mainstream analyses to examine how the Bolivian drug trade became interwoven with informal forms of governance, order and political transition. I argue that state–narco networks – a hangover from Bolivia’s authoritarian era – played an important role in these complex processes. In tracing the evolution of these interactions, the article advances a more nuanced theorisation of the relationship between the state and the drug trade in an understudied case.
