Andreas E. Feldmann Bücher

This Element investigates the relationship between the narcotics industry and politics. It claims that different manifestations of criminal politics arise depending on how different phases of drug-trafficking activity interact with the distinct politico-institutional endowments of Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

Feldmann explores the complex interactions among guerrilla groups, state security forces, and paramilitaries throughout Colombia's civil war. By dissecting their varied violent behaviors, he presents a groundbreaking theory that sheds light on the dynamics of terrorism within the context of civil conflicts. This analysis offers a deeper understanding of the motivations and actions of different actors involved in the war, contributing to the broader discourse on violence and terrorism.
