Traditionally, one of the most important questions in social sciences has been one that asks about differences in levels of development (between regions, countries and sub-national units). However, it is only in the last decades that development has begun to be understood from a perspective centered on people and, particularly, on their well-being and freedom to live the life they choose to live. This article argues why a region like Madre de Dios—characterized by its geographical complexity, illegal economies, high rates of human trafficking and other problems—has managed to maintain relatively successful levels in the Development Index over time. Human. From a sub-national perspective, it is proposed that in this region three different levels of human development coexist in three different areas of the territory that are overshadowed by regional measurement. These three differentiated levels, in turn, are the result of different patterns of relations between State and society based on two conditions: (1) the type of non-state actors and (2) the nature of the interaction.

The objective of this research is to analyze how the implementation of state initiatives in drug control policy is related to the configuration of life strategies in farmers of the Monzón Valley. To do this, it (a) identifies how the implementation process was developed in drug control policies; (b) characterizes the narratives and practices constructed by farmers based on the application of these initiatives; and (c) analyzes how the interrelation between the implementation process and the capitals of the population is linked to the configuration of life strategies. The study, qualitative and exploratory, finds that the consequences of state initiatives in the social groups of the valley varies because of factors such as origin, age, gender, previous agricultural experience and location of the plots, which are expressed as capitals that facilitate or restrict the decisions of rural actors. From them, farmers will deploy different life strategies, which can be observed as practices and narratives developed to adapt and give meaning to the process they now live.
