Our biggest acknowledgments are to the International Development Re-
search Centre (IRDC) of Canada, wh ich nanced most of the research and made
the eldwork undertaken by the dierent authors possible. e IDRC’s funding
has also made this Eng lish translation possible. In the IDRC we have enjoyed the
unconditional and patient support of Markus Gottsbacher, to whom we would
like to express our special t hanks.
We would also like to thank the dozens of ex perts, scholars, producers, busi-
nesspeople, and government ocials who agreed to be interv iewed and allowed
us to learn about the way in which the economies of the resources u nder study
function, along with t he regional realities they are framed i n.
We further acknowledge the many inst itutions which provided us with data,
contacts in the regions where we did our eld work, and access to experts a nd
academics. ese institutions were the Universidad Autónoma of Bucaramanga
(UNAB), the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC) in
Tunja (Javier Guerrero), the Universidad EAFIT in Medellín (María Aleja ndra

bian National Police, in Bogotá.
At the Universidad de los Andes we received support from the oce of
