This council has a history of community resistanceto illicit economies and has been particularly effective in halting the expansion ofcoca crops and illegal mining in its territory. Drawing upon data and results from ourprevious studies and additional inputs from one of the authors, a leader of the councilhimself, we followed a qualitative method based on thematic analysis to understand theconditions that explain effective community resistance. We identified three conditions:functional complementarity among grassroots organizations, the exercise of distributed(or collective) leadership, and the influence of foundational leaders. These conditionsare not easily transferable. Therefore, the possibility of replicating community resistancein other contexts is limited. The analysis, however, provides insights that may be usefulfor communities in similar contexts.}, booktitle = {Estudios Socio-Jurídicos; Vol. 22 No. 2 (2020)}, booktitle = {Estudios Socio-Jurídicos; Vol. 22 Núm. 2 (2020)}, booktitle = {Revista Estudios Socio-Jurídicos; v. 22 n. 2 (2020)}, keywords = {Economías Ilícitas}, keywords = {Resistencia Comunitaria}, keywords = {Liderazgo Comunitario}, keywords = {Gobernanza}, keywords = {Afrocolombianos}, title = {Origins of Community Resistance to Illicit Crops: Evidence from an Afro-Colombian Community Council in the South of Buenaventura}, publisher = {Universidad del Rosario}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/sociojuridicos/a.9148}, }
