Native forests comprise 14.3 million hectares, while planted forests (FAO term) represent 2.45 million hectares. However, 98% of industrial supply comes from planted forests made up largely of Pinus and Eucalyptus plantations, says the Chile Forestry Institute (INFOR- Instituto Forestal Chile 2015). Native forests are grouped into 12 types, 70% of which are in the regions of Los Lagos, Aysén and Magallanes. Roughly 4.1 million hectares of native forests are protected in state nature reservations. Regarding land tenure almost all planted forests are in the hands of private companies, 60% being held by 3 big companies and the rest by more than 20,000 small and medium-sized producers. The state holds close to 20% of native forest tenure, while the rest is in the hands of producers of various sizes (INFOR Forest Statistics). In general, the majority of forest land area is held through clear and undisputed property deeds. There are communes mainly in the regions of Biobio, Araucanía and Los Ríos, where there is overlapping ownership of land through rights called “land titles" belonging to the Mapuche people. In line with the interviews carried out by legal experts, in the majority of cases the agreement of customary rights is not recognised by Chilean legislation, thus there is no non-compliance per se with this overlapping. However, given the importance

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.

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.

  • Civil Law Trusts in Latin America: Is the Lack of Trusts an Impediment for Expanding Business Opportunities in Latin America?
    CIVIL LAW TRUSTS IN LATIN AMERICA: IS THE LACK OF TRUSTS AN IMPEDIMENT FOR EXPANDING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN LATIN AMERICA? Dante Figueroa* I. INTRODUCTION Many differences between the Anglo-American and Latin American legal systems are rooted in dissimilar cultural and societal approaches. Equity is a major area of contrasting jurisprudence. Whereas equity plays a relegated, subordinate role in Latin American courts, equity permeates Anglo-American legal institutions—both in the criminal and civil arenas—in almost all areas, including evidence, remedies, precautionary measures, trials, juries, sentencing, and trusts. The field of trust law epitomizes this contrast; this area exemplifies how the subdued role of equity in Latin American civil laws and its vitality in Anglo-American common law create divergent legal approaches. Due to its flexibility, the trust is considered one of the most useful legal tools for promoting business in the United States. In contrast, use of the Latin American trust (fideicomiso) is limited to commercial and financial purposes and has been described as a rigid1 and archaic instrument. Due to the common law underpinnings of Anglo-American trusts, attempts at merely transplanting the use of these trusts into Latin America would likely fail. However, this does not preclude the possibility of transforming the Latin American fideicomiso into a modern and effective legal tool. The need to improve the Latin American fideicomiso has been suggested in the past. In 1921, a study supported by the U.S. Congress concluded that one of the reasons for the inefficiency of Latin American banking systems was “the lack of the trust.”2 A redesign of the Latin American fideicomiso into a more Anglo-American type of business trust should help enhance investment and promote growth and development in the region.

The right of the parties to choose the law to govern international con- tracts, has been historically denied in Latin America due to the principle of terri- toriality of laws that has imbued national conflict provisions. Several regional and national attempts to authorize party autonomy have been disregarded on the grounds of protecting national sovereignty. Some jurisdictions have recently amended their laws to accept it. This acceptance has not meant a departure from their legal tradi- tion, but an enhancement of the principle of contractual freedom, that has always pervaded their contract rules.

Magister en Arte, Pensamiento y Cultura Latinoamericanos Instituto de Estudios Avanzados, Universidad de Santiago de Chile [email protected] Recibido: 7/ 7/2020 Aceptado: 5/ 8/2020 Publicado: 31/ 8/2020 Resumen: Mediante el análisis de un evento musical pionero de la solidaridad internacional con Chile tras el Golpe de 1973, el presente artículo busca aproximarse a los mecanismos de omisión que surgen ante la falta de una inscripción histórica concreta. La necesidad de trabajar esta memoria (Jelin, 2002), las paradojas del internacionalismo artístico investigadas por Giunta –particularmente, el que involucra a Latinoamérica y Estados Unidos– (2008), las comunidades musicales imaginadas (Born y Hesmondhalgh, 2000) de la Nueva Canción Chilena y el folk revival estadounidense, encarnadas en la relación de Víctor Jara y Phil Ochs, son los marcos que utilizamos para establecer la urgencia de poner en valor y tensionar este evento para así activar una red de otras acciones similares que aún no encuentran espacio en la actualidad. Palabras clave: música popular, solidaridad, Nueva Canción Chilena, folk revival, concierto benéfico. Abstract: By analyzing a pioneering musical event of international solidarity with Chile after the 1973 coup, this article approaches the mechanisms of omission that arise in the absence of a concrete historical inscription.
