  • 2021 Year Ahead
    2021 YEAR AHEAD Claudio Brocado Anthony Brocado January 29, 2021 1 2020 turned out to be quite unusual. What may the year ahead and beyond bring? As the year got started, the consensus was that a strong 2019 for equities would be followed by a positive first half, after which meaningful volatility would kick in due to the US presidential election. In the spirit of our prefer- ence for a contrarian stance, we had expected somewhat the opposite: some profit-taking in the first half of 2020, followed by a rally that would result in a positive balance at year-end. But in the way of the markets – which always tend to catch the largest number of participants off guard – we had what some would argue was one of the strangest years in recent memory. 2 2020 turned out to be a very eventful year. The global virus crisis (GVC) brought about by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic was something no serious market observer had anticipated as 2020 got started. Volatility had been all but nonexistent early in what we call ‘the new 20s’, which had led us to expect the few remaining volatile asset classes, such as cryptocurrencies, to benefit from the search for more extreme price swings. We had expected volatilities across asset classes to show some convergence. The markets delivered, but not in the direction we had expected. Volatilities surged higher across many assets, with the CBOE volatility index (VIX) reaching some of the highest readings in many years. As it became clear that what was commonly called the novel coronavirus would bring about a pandemic as it spread to the remotest corners of the world at record speeds, the markets feared the worst.

    The mediatization of Chilean political elites: Dynamics of adaptation, autonomy and control By: María Ximena Orchard Rieiro A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Journalism Studies Submission Date December 2015 2 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the relationship between Chilean political elites and the news media with the aim of better understanding how political elites in Chile have adapted to the process of mediatization of politics. Theoretically grounded within an institutionalist understanding of mediatization processes, this thesis uses a qualitative research strategy to identify the main drivers of mediatization among Chilean political elites, the operational logics structuring politicians’ and journalists’ interactions, and the dynamics of autonomy-control in the relationship between political and media actors. Findings are derived from analysis of sixty semi-structured interviews with politicians, including current and former Cabinet Ministers, parliamentarians and political party leaders, press officers working with politicians, and journalists with experience covering politics in national media outlets. This thesis identifies the core elements of a centralist, elitist and market-grounded political communication culture comprised of political and media actors that engage in routine and frequent exchanges. In doing so, it identifies cultural and structural elements moderating the process of mediatization. Additionally, this study critically examines political elites’ understandings of news media logics, including dynamics of resistance and instrumental adoption of media languages, temporalities, and routines. This is reinforced by power inequalities in the politician-journalist relationship, organisational constraints, and a strong insider culture acting against the development of journalistic autonomy.

  • The Impact of Transparency on Legislative Behavior
    The impact of transparency on legislative behavior Taking position avoidance into account: The case of Chile Carmen Le Foulon Morán Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Carmen Le Foulon All rights reserved The impact of transparency on legislative behavior Taking position avoidance into account: The case of Chile Carmen Le Foulon Morán Abstract This dissertation studies the effect of a transparency reform on legislators’ behavior. In order to specify how and why the transparency reform would have an impact, it builds a theoretical framework based on a theory of legislative behavior. The expectations are tested against the behavior of the Chilean Lower House legislators before and after a transparency reform. The theoretical expectations derive from a theory of legislative behavior based on reelection-oriented legislators organized in parties. This theoretical framework has two central features. First, position avoidance is taken explicitly into account. Second, from previous work on comparative representation, legislators may establish programmatic and non-programmatic linkages with their constituencies. In line with the literature, legislators who follow a programmatic linkage strategy are expected to adopt positions closer to their electoral constituency. Furthermore, as legislators build such positions from their roll call, I expect that legislators, when cross-pressured between their party and their constituency, will be more likely to side with their constituency. I argue that cross-pressured legislators may also avoid taking a position, as it does not influence observed party unity and does not imply voting against the constituency.

  • Yasna Provoste Enters the Race for the Chilean Presidency
    Yasna Provoste enters the race for the Chilean presidency Yasna Provoste will run in the presidential elections against Gabriel Boric, for Apruebo Dignidad and Sebastián Sichel for Chile Vamos. | Photo: La Tercera Santiago de Chile, August 22 (RHC)-- Chilean senator of the Christian Democratic Party (PDC) Yasna Provoste will be the presidential candidate for the Constituent Unity coalition (UC), after winning on Saturday in the popular consultation organized by this political bloc. According to preliminary results, the president of the Chilean Senate obtained 62.2 percent of the votes counted, in second place was Paula Narvaez, of the Socialist Party (PS) with 26.4 percent, and third place with 11.4 percent went to Carlos Maldonado, of the Radical Party (PR). Organizers say the referendum took place calmly and with a discreet attendance, as expected by many analysts. The National Organizing Commission, composed of representatives of the political parties that make up the Constituent Unity coalition, only militants of the member forces of the center-left alliance and citizens without militancy could participate in the election process. Thus, Yasna Provoste is to date the only woman who will run in the presidential elections of November 21, in which she will face Gabriel Boric, for the leftist bloc Apruebo Dignidad and Sebastián Sichel for the right-wing coalition Chile Vamos. A teacher by profession, Provoste assumed several political responsibilities, among them that of Minister of Planning during the government of Ricardo Lagos (2000-2006) and of Education in the first presidency of Michelle Bachelet (2006-2010), a position from which she was removed by a constitutional accusation in Congress that disqualified her from exercising political functions for 5 years.
