Alternative Development (AD) policies are initiatives aimed at controlling illicit cocaine supply coming from the Andean region. While Andean states have created a great number of AD projects and programs, these have been object of harsh criticism given their limited impact on the reduction of global cocaine supply and their harmful consequences for local communities. In spite of criticism, AD policies have been implemented over the last thirty years. This article provides an account of this contradiction by explaining the workings of Alternative Development’s inertia or its continuous reproduction in Peru. By drawing on the case of a particular Alternative Development program that is currently being implemented in the province of Satipo, the article analyzes how policy inertia is experienced and perpetuated at the local level. Using the theoretical approach of Cultural Political Economy, the article concludes that policy inertia is the result of vested particular interests and everyday practices carried out by a wide variety of actors who are anchored in structures of material inequality.
