Abstract: This essay analyzes how Colombian president Pastrana Borrero adjusted to Richard Nixon's international narcotics policy. Nixon's efforts to suppress drug trafficking in other countries is reviewed. Afterwards, Colombia's growing importance in narcotics is analyzed. However, despite Pastrana Borrero's cooperation his efforts were insufficient given the high degrees of corruption among the authorities in charge. To provide a wider framework, the growing political conflicts and repression, both in rural and urban areas, are reviewed.
