National Coca Company, 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, Drug Policy, Peru

Resumen

International treaties are pivotal in molding and directing national policies. By creating a binding normative framework, they influence government decisions, and consequently, the structure of institutions, affecting various national actors. In that vein, this study aims to elucidate the impact of the international narcotics regime, with a specific focus on the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (hereafter referred to as the Single Convention) promoted by the United Nations (UN), on the restructuring efforts of the Peru’s National Coca Company (ENACO) from 2001 to 2023. To achieve this goal, a qualitative methodology was employed, leveraging the usefulness and relevance of document analysis and interviews, the latter validated by experts specializing in research methodology, ENACO’s restructuring, and the international narcotics regime. The study ultimately finds that, despite the Single Convention’s binding nature for the Peruvian State, its provisions did not significantly impact ENACO’s restructuring efforts during the specified period. This, due to the fact that internal factors such as political, administrative and financial, had a greater influence on this process.
