Presiones de grupos societales sobre la Corte Constitucional y el Congreso en la estrategia de erradicación de cultivos ilícitos y las relaciones bilaterales entre Colombia y Estados Unidos en el marco del Plan Colombia

This work aims to analyze the impact of social actors through the Constitutional Court and the Congress (veto players) on the strategy to eradicate illicit crops within the framework of Plan Colombia. While foreign policy analysis has been developed mainly under a presidentialist paradigm, through the model of presidential contestation' the intention is to take into account new actors who can intervene in the decision-making process through direct or indirect pressure on foreign policy. The incidence of these factors is analysed under the pressure of mainly indigenous, Afro-descendant and indigenous communities, who go to the Constitutional Court to demand respect for their rights violated by the use of glyphosate and/or through representation in congressional debates calling for the protection of health and the environment. As an effect, this generates a political or transactional cost in the policy carried out by the government, which allows us to analyze whether these pressures have effectively succeeded in modifying or influencing the illicit crop eradication strategy of the governments of Alvaro Uribe Velez, Juan Manuel Santos and currently Ivan Duque.
