  • The Defeat of the Concertación Coalition and the Alternation of Power in Chile (ARI)
    Area: Latin America ARI 23/2010 (Translated from Spanish) Date: 5/3/2010 The Defeat of the Concertación Coalition and the Alternation of Power in Chile (ARI) Carlos Huneeus * Theme: The second round of the Chilean elections on 17 January 2010 handed victory to the opposition, putting an end to a run of four governments led by the centre-left Concertación por la Democracia coalition, in power since the end of the military regime of General Augusto Pinochet (1973-90). This is hugely significant because it signals the return of the right wing to the La Moneda presidential palace after no less than 52 years. Summary: In the second round of the elections held on 17 January 2010, Senator Eduardo Frei of the Christian Democrats (Democracia Cristiana, PDC), former President (1994-2000) and Concertación coalition candidate, was defeated by Sebastián Piñera of the National Renewal Party (Renovación Nacional, RN), leader of the centre-right Coalition for Change (Coalición por el Cambio), also encompassing the Independent Democratic Union (Unión Demócrata Independiente, UDI). Piñera received 51.6% of the vote, vs Frei’s 48.39%. In the first round on 13 December 2009, coinciding with the parliamentary elections, Piñera obtained 44% of the vote and Frei a low 29.6%, followed by the independent candidate Marco Enríquez-Ominami, with 20.1% and Jorge Arrate, backed by the Communist Party (PC), with 6.2%. The latter two had to leave the Socialist Party (PS) to compete for the Presidency. In the parliamentary elections, the Concertación coalition obtained a poor showing of 40.3%, a slump vs the results of the previous poll in 2005 (51.7%).

Con sedes en: Ciudad de México, Guadalajara, Jalisco; Oaxaca, Oaxaca; Cuernavaca, Morelos; Puebla, Puebla; y Acapulco, Guerrero. CONVOCANTES Universidad de Guadalajara Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla Universidad Autónoma de Morelos Instituto de Estudios para la Transición Democrática (México) CONCENSUS (Panamá) Fundación Chile 21 (Chile) Centro de Estudios Políticos, Económicos y Sociales (Argentina) Instituto Lula (Brasil) Instituto Pablo Iglesias (España) Fundación Jean Jaurés (Francia) 1 PRESENTACIÓN México, como otras naciones vive delicadas situaciones económicas, crisis institucionales y deterioro de sus procesos democráticos. Son frágiles los mecanismos societarios que son indispensables para la convivencia democrática, para avanzar en el desarrollo económico y en el bienestar social. Esto ha contribuido a que crezca el hastío y el enfado de los ciudadanos hacia la política, hacia los políticos y en general hacia las instituciones públicas. De esta situación no se excluyen ninguna de las corrientes políticas y desde luego, tampoco las izquierdas. Ello ocasiona que en no pocos países surjan y aparezcan como alternativa de gobierno, las visiones extremistas de derecha e izquierda y los liderazgos carismáticos. Por otro lado, la crisis económica que afecta a gran parte del mundo no logra superarse y ello ocasiona -aparte de inestabilidad social y política- que grandes sectores de la población se encuentren en condiciones de extrema pobreza.

Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es entender y explicar los factores que impulsaron que una potencia económica como Japón propusiera una alianza estratégica a Chile en 1994. La hipótesis es que la estabilidad económica chilena de los noventas y la oportunidad japonesa de acceder a las economías del MERCOSUR impulsaron esta alianza. Sin embargo, la crisis económica del Este asiático de 1997, que promovió el reemplazo de Japón por China como mercado para la exportación latinoamericana en Asia, interfirió para que esta idea no se concretara en su diseño original. Para ello se construyó un patrón de jerarquización de visitas entre ambos países que evidenció la brecha entre la agenda de política exterior y los intereses del empresariado chileno.

Lo que están haciendo es una buena demostra- ción de pluralismo y valoración de la diversidad. Las historias que se narran aquí en Vidas Revolucionarias tienen muchos ribetes, muchos vericuetos y complejidades. Pueden gustar o no gustar, pero son historias que merecen ser contadas y creo que, des- de ese punto de vista, el trabajo de Cristián tiene un enorme mérito. Se dijo al inicio que esto forma parte de la conmemoración de los cuarenta años del golpe de Estado. Parto entonces con una pequeña reflexión sobre lo que estamos viviendo estos días, en torno a la con- memoración de los cuarenta años. Por de pronto, creo que ha sido un buen momento para presentar este libro. No soy el único, pero estoy sorprendido y también conmovido por la forma que ha adquirido esta conmemoración, que está siendo mucho más de lo que uno podría ha- ber pensado hace algunos meses. Déjenme decir lo siguiente: creo que no fue ningún sector polí- www.cepchile.cl tico el que empujó o precipitó las cosas en esta dirección, yo diría más bien lo contrario. Si uno les hubiera preguntado a los principales secto- res políticos del país, ¿quieren ustedes tener una gran conmemoración de los cuarenta años? Yo creo que habría buenas razones de lado y lado para no hacerlo.

  • Puntos De Referencia "Ntro De Estudios Publicos
    o o PUNTOS DE REFERENCIA "NTRO DE ESTUDIOS PUBLICOS Número 93 Mayo 1992 ESTUDIO SOCIAL Y DE OPINION PUBLICA CEP-ADIMARK, ABRIL 1992 • Aunque la percepción de que la situación económica de Chile está mejorando, de que ésta continúa en aumento, la población comienza a considerar que su situación personal no mejorará de aquí a un año, y más bien cree que ella tiende a mantenerse. 9 La Democracia Cristiana mantiene el primer lugar de preferencias, aunque disminuye en porcentaje. Aumentan sus adherentes, el PPD y la Unión de Centro Centro en especial y disminuyen Renovación Nacional y UDI. • Para el público la figura más importante de la Concertación, exceptuando al Presidente Aylwin, es Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, mientras que en la oposición es Andrés Allamand. • Si este domingo hubiera elecciones presidenciales, un 27,7% votaría por Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle; un 14,9% por Ricardo Lagos, y un 12,8% por Francisco Javier Errázuriz. Sin embargo, al margen de la preferencia personal, un 46,4% cree que el próximo Presidente de la República será Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle. • La intención de voto para las próximas elecciones municipales, antes de iniciarse la campaña electoral, es la siguiente: Pacto Concertación, 51,5%; Pacto Oposición, 13,6%; Pacto de Centro Centro, 13,6%; Pacto Mida, 4,6%; No responde, 16,7%. Indudablemente, estos resultados no constituyen una predicción de lo que ocurrirá el 28 de junio de 1992. La campaña electoral recién se inicia y los independientes aún deben definir su voto. • El papel más importante del municipio, según la población, es preocuparse de la salud y educación en la comuna, y en segundo lugar, mantener la limpieza y ordenamiento.

  • Chile: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations
    Chile: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Peter J. Meyer Analyst in Latin American Affairs July 21, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40126 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Chile: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Summary Following a violent coup against democratically elected Marxist President Salvador Allende in 1973, Chile experienced 17 years of military rule under General Augusto Pinochet before reestablishing its elected civilian democracy in 1990. A center-left coalition of parties known as the Concertación has governed Chile for the nearly two decades since the end of the dictatorship. The coalition has enacted a number of constitutional changes to strengthen civilian control of the military and to undertake the prosecution of those alleged to be responsible for human rights violations during the Pinochet-era. Chile has made significant economic progress under the Concertación’s free market economic policies and moderate social programs, which have produced notable economic growth and considerable reductions in poverty. Current President Michele Bachelet has faced a number of challenges since her 2006 election. Widespread demonstrations over education, increased militancy by indigenous groups, and opposition control of the legislature have hindered President Bachelet’s ability to govern. The global financial crisis is President Bachelet’s latest challenge, though the government’s timely decision to save recent fiscal surpluses has allowed Chile to pursue counter-cyclical policies and minimize the effects of the economic downturn. Bachelet has won considerable support as a result of her handling of the crisis, with her approval rating rising to 74% in July 2009.

  • Politics, Enterprise Strategies and Employment Quality in Chile
    Inside the Model: Politics, Enterprise Strategies and Employment Quality in Chile Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades des Doktors der Philosophie im Fachbereich Philosophie und Sozialwissenschaften der Universität Hamburg vorgelegt von Gerhard Reinecke aus Soest Hamburg 2000 Para Taty y Humberto ii Acknowledgements This study would have been impossible to carry out had it not been for the generous support of a large number of people, both in Chile and elsewhere. First and foremost, I am especially grateful to all the enterprise owners, managers, employees, and workers who readily shared both their time and insights with me during my enterprise visits. Although understandably they did not always answer all of my questions, the general attitude was one of great openness, even within enterprises for which the first contact with my project was not voluntary, but was rather imposed through a visit with a labour inspector (In this regard, I want to acknowledge the important support provided by Sergio Espinosa of the Inspección del Trabajo, who visited many enterprises with me). The precise list of all my contacts and key informants is too long to be included in these acknowledgements, but can be found in the list of interviews in annex 2. Secondly, during my stay in Chile, between August 1994 and February 1998, the orientation of my research project changed several times, and the final result may hardly be recognizable for those with whom I shared my ideas during initial conceptual phases. Many people have helped me find my way in this process, but I am especially indebted to Laís Abramo, Magdalena Echeverría, Lucio Geller, Jorge Katz, Emilio Klein, Cecilia Montero, Gerry Rodgers and Barbara Stallings.
