摘要：Traditional coca uses have taken place in Peru and Bolivia for at least the past three thousand years. International organizations have been unsuccessful in urging the implementation of «zero-coca growing» policies in those countries. Supply-side harm reduction strategies are currently being implemented in Bolivia, which rely on social control to limit, although not totally abolish, coca growing. In this article, the different motivations for coca growing for traditional uses are reviewed, and the data from a survey conducted with 496 farmers in an indigenous community are examined, to provide an overview of the cocagrowing problem and explore if social control could potentially influence the scale of coca growing in Peru. The results suggest that social control variables, such as attachment, involvement, and beliefs, limit the size of coca-growing areas. Those factors have been largely overlooked and may offer an opportunity to reduce coca areas if explicitly considered in drug-control policy design.
