The implementation of President George H. W. Bush's 1989 Andean Initiative brought to the fore competing US and Bolivian agendas. While US embassy officials sought to exert control in pursuit of militarised policies, the Bolivian government's ambivalence towards the coca-cocaine economy underpinned opposition to the ‘Colombianisation’ of the country. This article deconstructs prevailing top-down, US-centric analyses of the drug war in Latin America to examine how US power was exercised and resisted in the Bolivian case. Advancing a more historically grounded understanding of the development of the US drug war in Latin America, it reveals the fluidity of US–Bolivian power relations, the contested nature of counter-drug policy at the country level, and the instrumentalisation of the ‘war on drugs’ in distinct US and Bolivian agendas.

在安第斯山脉对抗“毒品战争”：美国-玻利维亚的权力和控制关系（1989-93）

乔治 HW 布什总统 1989 年安第斯倡议的实施使美国和玻利维亚相互竞争的议程脱颖而出。虽然美国大使馆官员试图施加控制以推行军事化政策，但玻利维亚政府对可口可卡因经济的矛盾心理支持了对该国“哥伦比亚化”的反对。本文解构了对拉丁美洲毒品战争的普遍自上而下、以美国为中心的分析，以研究美国在玻利维亚案中如何行使和抵制权力。它推进了对美国在拉丁美洲禁毒战争发展的更具历史根据的理解，揭示了美国与玻利维亚权力关系的流动性、国家层面禁毒政策的竞争性质以及“禁毒战争”的工具化。毒品在美国和玻利维亚的不同议程中。
