Drugs in Afghanistan, Mexico and Colombia

Vanda Felbab-Brown's testimony to Congress where she makes the case for rural development to reduce drugs. Basically the policy she is advocating is to have more development and better governance in countries where drugs are produced.
Her piece is also an evaluation of Obama's drugs policy. Although she says that "since the Office of the National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) has not yet released a statement outlining its overall counternarcotics strategy, I will rely on other official documents, such as the congressional testimonies by Director of ONDCP, Mr. Gil Kerlikowske, the budgetary request by the Obama Administration, and newspaper commentaries on proposed counternarcotics strategies."

There is also a link to a report that evaluates Plan Colombia.
