Eisenhower Parkway PO Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 481 06-1346 LIBERAL ECONOMY, LIMITED DEMOCRACY: THE CASE OF CHILE BY Kathryn A. Lasso ABSTRACT This is a sociological study about the political constitution drafted in 1980 in the Republic of Chile by its military junta that was intended to "protect" democracy through authoritarianism. Each section of the study begins by summarizing the international ideological context in which Chilean social action took place before looking at Chilean political economy under its three constitutions of 1833, 1925 and 1980. While this study is focused on the particular case of Chile, it hopes to make a broader contribution to historical-comparative sociology by demonstrating how Chile's constitutional contract changed in an effort to create a rules framework to mediate social relations by using a multi-polar political-economy approach. In this respect we hope to gain understanding about the fundamental nature of liberalism as an organizing concept and in contrast to competing paradigms. While the attention of historical-comparative sociology is traditionally focused upon large-scale structures, this study focuses its attention on large-scale ideas about structures. In 1982 Milton Friedman wrote: "Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ii ideas that are lying around."1 This study identifies the myriad of ideas about politics and economics that were "lying around" Chile in the 1970's and 1980's, to tease out where those ideas came from, to follow what happened to them, and, most importantly, to learn of their influence upon the everyday life of everyday people even today. 1 Milton Friedman with the assistance of Rose D. Friedman. Capitalism and Freedom. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 1982. p. ix 111 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This paper would never have been written without the encouragement and support that I have experienced over many years. My interest in Chile began when I served as an intern at the Third World Women's Project of the Institute for Policy Studies. I was encouraged by both Isabel Letelier and Jill Gay to write my master's thesis on Chilean women, which sparked what has become a long term interest in that country. Back in school some twelve years later when I found myself wrangling with questions about the relationship between democracy and economics, I was fortunate to have taken an independent studies course with Chilean economist Fernando Leiva, whose early mentoring pointed me to explore the influence of F .A. Hayek upon Chile. This encouragement led me down the winding path that has culminated in the study before you today. Later on human rights activist Jose Aylwin and Tomas Hirsch, leader of Chile's Humanist Party graciously granted me interviews, which helped to confirm some of the conclusions that I had drawn about the lasting impact that Pinochet's regime had had upon Chile. I also must thank American University's Department of Sociology; I entered a doctoral program there with a decision to fully explore this theme, with the encouragement of each professor there. My specific thanks go to Professors Russell iv Stone, Jill Brantley and Hector Schamis who served on my dissertation committee. American University's College of Arts and Science provided me with generous financial assistance upon three occasions, two times with travel grants for field work in Chile and in between with a year-long fellowship that allowed me to stop working full time to write. A cadre of friends valiantly agreed to read my dissertation in various stages of completion. I am grateful for all of their comments and corrections. Many thanks to Helen Albert, Gail Arnall, Dottie Bockstiegel, Lauren Conover, Wendy Dorsey, Jose Gutierrez, David Hilfiker, and Alexandra Zekas. I must also recognize Dr. Wilson, who helped me come to terms with my own bifurcated consciousness. But my greatest thanks are reserved for my family. I would like to thank my husband Ernesto for his encouragement, and, most of all, I must thank my boys, Manuel, Paul and Benjamin, who put up with a mom who needed to do more than take them to soccer games, karate classes and art classes. Thanks guys, you're the best. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT . .. 11 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .......................................................................... .iv LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ..................................................................... vii Chapter 1.

There were several things that I wanted to discuss with you but somehow forgot. One of them is ideology. What is ideology? How is it born? How does it die? To my knowledge there is very little rigorous work on the subject. Sociologists are once again no help .. Can you recommend something on the subject? Letter from Hernan Cortes Douglas to F.A. Hdyek May 9, 198a2 The concept of 'ideology' reflects the one discovery which emerged from political conflict, namely, that ruling groups can in their thinking become so intensively interest-bound to a situation that they are simply no longer able to see certain facts which would undermine their sense of domination. There is implicit in the word 'ideology' the insight that in certain situations the collective unconscious of certain groups obscures the real condition of society both to itself and to others and thereby stabilizes it.

INTRODUCTION The latest developments in private law in Chile do not come from anything as exciting as a legal reform of the Civil Code1 or from the enactment of any miscellaneous legislation. On the contrary, Private law seems to have kept its same legal framework, while the political powers have refrained from introducing radical innovations. This would appear as a rather uninteresting atmosphere for a comparatist, but this is not really the case.

  • Privatizing Social Security: the Chilean Experience
    In 1924, Chile was the first country in the Western Hemisphere to establish a comprehensive social security program that provided coverage for old-age, survivors, and disability benefits (similar to the present OASDI system in the United States), and cash sickness and medical benefits. By the late 1970’s, it had become clear that massive government subsidies would be needed to continue to pay benefits. Then, in 198 1, Chile became the first country to change from a pay-as- you-go system to mandatory private savings for retirement. As many countries worldwide are currently facing problems with financing their social security systems, they are looking to the experi- Privatizing Sociffl Security: ence of other countries to find solutions.

Manuel Contreras, a notorious secret-police boss and unrepentant human rights abuser, coupled with legal developments in a number of decades-old criminal cases, have shed new light on the dark and still haunting legacy of the dictatorship of Chile’s Gen. Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990). On Aug. 7, nearly nine years after Pinochet passed away at age 91 (NotiSur, Jan. 5, 2007), Contreras, 86, followed his former boss to the grave. Both men died of natural causes, and, in both cases, the deaths prompted spontaneous street celebrations. Outside the Santiago hospital where Contreras had been treated since September 2014 for kidney problems and other serious health issues, critics of the 17-year military regime poured sparkling wine and waved flags.

  • El Rol Del Estado Chileno En La Búsqueda Del Desarrollo Nacional (1920-1931)
    Espacio Regional Volumen 2, Número 6, Osorno, 2009, pp. 119 - 132 EL ROL DEL ESTADO CHILENO EN LA BÚSQUEDA DEL DESARROLLO NACIONAL (1920-1931) Jorge Gaete Lagos [email protected] Universidad Andrés Bello Santiago, Chile RESUMEN El año 1924 representó un cambio profundo para la historia nacional, ya que se puso fin al régimen oligárquico-parlamentario, y se dio inicio a una etapa de transición que estuvo liderada por los militares, la cual se prolongó hasta 1932. Al integrarse a la escena política, ellos llevaron a cabo diversas reformas. Entre estas, podemos destacar que al Estado le otorgaron un mayor protagonismo en el país al asumir este la tarea de garantizar el “bien común” de la sociedad, lo cual se plasmó en la Constitución de 1925. Posteriormente, adquirió una función económica, ya que participó junto al sector privado y los sindicatos en los proyectos de desarrollo que comenzaron a gestarse. Por ende, este artículo estudiará el dinamismo que tuvo el Estado durante la década de 1920, y pondrá énfasis en la labor que asumió en el gobierno de Carlos Ibáñez del Campo (1927-1931). De esta forma, se mostrarán los antecedentes que tuvo el concepto de “Estado de bienestar”, el cual se concretó en 1939 con la llegada del Frente Popular. Palabras claves: Estado, eficiencia, proteccionismo, fomento, desarrollo económico, progreso ABSTRACT The year 1924 represented a profound change in national history as it ended the parliamentary- oligarchic regime, and began a transition that was led by the military, which lasted until 1932. On joining the political scene, they carried out various reforms.

Eidahl December 2017 © 2017 Brad T. Eidahl. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile by BRAD T. EIDAHL has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Patrick M. Barr-Melej Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT EIDAHL, BRAD T., Ph.D., December 2017, History Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile Director of Dissertation: Patrick M. Barr-Melej This dissertation examines the struggle between Chile’s opposition press and the dictatorial regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (1973-1990). It argues that due to Chile’s tradition of a pluralistic press and other factors, and in bids to strengthen the regime’s legitimacy, Pinochet and his top officials periodically demonstrated considerable flexibility in terms of the opposition media’s ability to publish and distribute its products. However, the regime, when sensing that its grip on power was slipping, reverted to repressive measures in its dealings with opposition-media outlets. Meanwhile, opposition journalists challenged the very legitimacy Pinochet sought and further widened the scope of acceptable opposition under difficult circumstances. Ultimately, such resistance contributed to Pinochet’s defeat in the 1988 plebiscite, initiating the return of democracy.

PESTLE Analysis of Chile 2014 Background: Michelle Bachelet's return to the Chilean presidency in 2014 will pave the way for a highly ambitious reform agenda, which seeks to raise taxes and introduce higher quality free education in the country. But due to an insufficient parliamentary majority, the centre-left coalition will need to compromise on reforms. Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has conducted a detailed analysis of this economy and presents its findings in “PESTLE Analysis of Chile 2014.” The study indicates that Chile is likely to face some challenges in its quest for achieving growth and competitive edge in the economy. High dependence on copper export is one of the major challenges for the country. The report also highlights the major drivers of the economy. Increase in external as well as domestic demand is expected to boost high economic growth of Chile. Since the country is the world’s third largest in copper reserves, increase in copper prices will also have positive impact on the economic growth. Chilean economy is likely to grow to $283.7 billion at the current price by 2019, with a CAGR of 5.5% from 2014 to 2019.
