  • Social and Political Effects of State-Led Repression: the Chilean Case
    The Pearson Institute Discussion Paper No. 27 Social and political effects of state-led repression: The Chilean case Maria Angélica Bautista November 2016 Working Paper Social and Political Effects of State-led Repression: The Chilean Case Maria Ang´elicaBautista∗ Harris School of Public Policy - University of Chicago November 22, 2016 Abstract In this paper I study the micro-level impact of state-led repression for the case of the Chilean military dictatorship (1973-1990) on individual political and social par- ticipation, preferences and behavior. I collected a unique micro dataset in Chile in 2012 where I surveyed subjects who experienced repression and built a matching group of subjects with very similar socio-economic characteristics that did not experience repression. Since there is a clear selection into the repressed group, I use a differ- ence in differences strategy where I compare the outcome of the repressed relative to the non-repressed before and after repression took place. I also estimate this model using individual fixed effects. I find several robust results: first, there is a general de-politicization of the sample since I find that in 2012 both sets of people, repressed and non-repressed are less interested in politics compared to 1973; second, there is no significant change in the political orientation on a left-right scale of either group; third, that as a consequence of repression the participation of the repressed in political parties and unions fell relative to the non-repressed. The repressed also reduced their reliance on newspapers as a source of information. Lastly, the repressed increased their participation in human rights organizations.

  • An Investigation of the United States' Decision To
    1 Tip-Toeing through the Tulips: An Investigation of The United States’ Decision to Enter the Angolan Civil War in June of 1975 A Senior Honors Thesis in History by: Nicholas LoCastro 2 Introduction On the morning of June 25, 1975, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had a decision to make. For the past ten months he had been thinking about bringing the United States right into the midst of the rapidly developing Angolan Civil War. Kissinger knew that an explicit commitment of American support to an Angolan faction could significantly advance U.S. interests in Southern Africa, but he recognized that there were serious risks as well. In order to make a more informed choice, Kissinger asked the head of the State Department’s African Bureau, Nathaniel Davis, to recommend a plan of action. On the morning of the 25th, Kissinger had an answer. Davis advised that the United States should stay far, far away from Angola. He argued that the risks associated with direct American involvement in an African civil war greatly outweighed any potential gain, yet it was Kissinger who held the authority to make the final decision. Two days later, he had made up his mind. Paying little heed to Davis’ reservations, the Secretary decided that the United States would directly support two of the three groups fighting for control of Angola. Kissinger called his decision the start of a “heroic phase in U.S. foreign policy.”1 Within three weeks, Kissinger had convinced President Gerald Ford to green light a program codenamed IAFEATURE. It was highly classified—no one but the highest-ranking American officials and Kissinger’s African allies knew of its existence.

    INTERVIEW Questions translated by Patrick Vyvyan AMBASSADOR EDWARD M. KORRY IN CEP* Beneath is the transcription of a dialogue which took place between Ambassador Edward M. Korry and the historian Joaquín Fermandois and Arturo Fontaine Talavera, Director of CEP, on the 16th and 21st of October, 1996 in the Centro de Estudios Públicos. The interview was related to the events and themes covered by Ambassador Korry in the conference which he gave at CEP on the 16th October, entit- led: “The United States in Chile and Chile in the United States (1963-1975)”, and which is also included in this edition of Estudios Públicos. Here Ambassador Korry expands on some of the events, adding more information and examples. His replies, through the vividness of their language, take us back directly to the environment of Chilean politics at the end of the 1960s. EDWARD M. KORRY was Ambassador of the United States in Chile between 1967 and 1971. * The questions were mainly asked by Joaquín Fermandois and Arturo Fontaine Talavera. Some others were made by participants who have been impossible to identify in the recording. In the section of documents in this edition, “Chile in the Archives of the United States”, the Contingency Report of August 1970, “Fidelismo without Fidel”, has been inclu- ded along with certain cables which Ambassador Korry exchanged with the State Department of the United States during August 1970.
