	How Would Drug Legalization in the United States Affect Colombia?
		In Colombia, two of the most devastating aspects of the drug war are the aerial fumigation program and the funding of terrorist armies.
		Colombia's National Association of Financial Institutions (ANIF) estimated the nation's 1999 income from the illegal drug trade to be $3.5 billion (assuming 10 percent of the profits were repatriated), which is close to the income from oil, and more than the income from coffee.
		Colombia's war is at least as much about displacing peasants from resource-rich lands and destroying urban opposition (particularly from trade unions) to neoliberal economic policies as it is about drugs.

		The latest volume in a useful series edited by Lester Langley, this study surveys two centuries of relations between the United States and Colombia, a medium-sized, strategically located nation at the gateway to South America.
		After World War II Colombians split between those advocating an independent and even antagonistic stand toward the United States and those favoring acceptance by Colombia of its place as a mid-range regional power within the U.S. sphere of influence.
		The largest factor shaping relations has been the asymmetry of power, as the United States is an all-pervasive factor in Colombia's foreign policy while Colombia is low on the U.S. priority list.
