Augusto Pinochet's government. Alejandro Foxley, 50, heads Aylwin's economic team, and is expected to become Finance Minister if the opposition candidate wins. He received a doctorate in economics from the University of Wisconsin, is president of an economic research institute in Santiago, and holds an endowed chair in economics at the University of Notre Dame. Foxley was cited by the New York Times as saying that an Aylwin economic team would produce change with stability, and would not seek to modify prevailing economic rules. He said, "Democracy cannot totally frustrate the aspirations and hopes of people.

Chile’s social-fabric was ripped apart when a military coup led by General August0 Pinochet brought the country’s history as a democratic republic to an abrupt halt. This uprising ushered in an era of dictatorship that was to last 17 years. Throughout this dark period of Chilean history, democracy, free debate, and the equitable distribution of resources were all low priorities on the agenda of a government with a well-documented record of human rights abuses. For the people of Chile, this was a time many would rather put behind them. But there are signs of change in this coastal South American country. A Following the overthrow of leave that institution in the wake of the special plebiscite in October 1988 gave President Salvador Allende in 1973, military coup and, anticipating a Chileans an opportunity to reject the new government assumed control lengthy period of rigid dictatorship, set Pinochet’s claim to power.

  • Los Retos De Michelle Bachelet En Política Exterior*
    CLAUDIA FUENTES JULIO Y CLAUDIO FUENTES SAAVEDRA Los retos de Michelle Bachelet en política exterior* América Latina vive un momento de cambios relevantes. La combinación de gobiernos democráticos moderados y libre mercado está dando paso a gobiernos más críticos con el mercado y sustentados políticamente por nue- vos movimientos sociales. En Chile, la elección de Michelle Bachelet, prime- ra mujer presidenta del país, supone importantes pasos a nivel social en un país que se dibuja como actor importante en el relanzamiento internacional de la región. La elección de Michelle Bachelet como presidenta de la República de Chile Claudia Fuentes el 15 de enero de 2006 expresa al mismo tiempo una continuidad política y Julio es master en un gran cambio social en el país. Continuidad porque la Concertación de Relaciones Internacionales y Partidos por la Democracia (CPD) es la coalición de Gobierno que más tiem- profesora po ha gobernado Chile en su historia y,2 al analizar los desafíos de la políti- investigadora de ca exterior, se constata que la nueva presidenta mantiene las mismas orien- FLACSO-Chile taciones y prioridades programáticas. La política exterior chilena podría defi- nirse como progresista respecto a sus valores y principios y liberal en cuan- to a su modelo de inserción económica internacional. Se trata de una políti- ca exterior que valora la democracia, el respeto por los derechos humanos, el multilateralismo y la seguridad humana. Pero, al mismo tiempo, promueve el libre comercio y la apertura de fronteras para el libre tránsito de bienes, personas y servicios. El cambio social se expresa en que por primera vez los chilenos y chile- Claudio Fuentes nas han elegido a una mujer para dirigir el país.

    University of London Institute of Latin American Studies Occasional Papers No. 3 WHAT REMAINS OF PINOCHET'S CHILE? Alan Angell Institute of Latin American Studies 31 Tavistock Square London WC1H 9HA The Institute of Latin American Studies publishes as Occasional Papers selected seminar and conference papers and public lectures delivered at the Institute or by scholars associated with the work of the Institute. Occasional Paper No. 3 was given as a seminar in the Open Forum on Contemporary Issues in Latin America at the Institute of Latin American Studies on 18 November 1992. Alan Angell is University Lecturer in Latin American Politics and Fellow of St Antony's College, Oxford. Occasional Papers, New Series 1992- ISSN 0953 6825 ® Institute of Latin American Studies University of London 1993 WHAT REMAINS OF PINOCHET'S CHILE? September in Chile is normally a month of intense political activity. It is the month of the Fiestas Patrias, the days that celebrate, with military parades, the founding of the Republic. It is also the month that saw the anniversary of the coup that overthrew the Allende government in 1973. Appropriately, in 1992, the military was involved in two central political episodes in September. They were foreshadowed when General Pinochet, making one of his famous improvised speeches in the Club de la Union, referred to the army as 'a sleeping lion' - a barely disguised threat of trouble with the army if human rights trials threatened that institution.1 Then two episodes of intelligence surveillance dramatically high-lighted the continuing involvement of the military in domestic politics. September also saw the first Cabinet reshuffle of the government of President Aylwin, marking the start of the campaign for the Presidential elections to be held in December 1994.

MENSAJE DEL RECTOR DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE TALCA Pocas instituciones han marcado nuestra historia económica y social de las últimas décadas, como lo ha hecho la Corporación de Estu- dios para Latinoamérica (CIEPLAN). Sus ideas, trabajos académicos y planteamientos fundados respecto a diversos temas, han sido el sustento de diversas políticas públicas que han contribuido decidida- mente al desarrollo de Chile post dictadura. Desde sus orígenes esta institución centró sus esfuerzos en generar propuestas que tuvieron un gran impacto en un país, que no solo se reencontraba con la democracia, sino que además necesitaba de herramientas para proyectarse a las nuevas condiciones en la que se desenvolvía la economía mundial. La liberalización del sistema político de la entonces URSS (Glásnost), la globalización del com- ercio internacional y la reinserción de nuestro país en la comunidad internacional, fueron procesos que marcaron fuertemente la agenda política y económica nacional. Cieplan aportó a este esfuerzo con un conjunto de propuestas serias, responsables, y tal vez lo más relevante, lo hizo con una perspectiva de mediano y largo plazo, convirtiéndose esto último es una de las características distintivas de su labor: trabajar con una mirada capaz de trascender coyunturas específicas para delinear estrategias que – sobre la base de un análisis reflexivo, profundo y sistémico -, permitieran enfrentar con mejores armas los nuevos desafíos que el advenimiento del nuevo siglo imponía.
