  • Theoretical Reflections on the Chilean Case*

    Theoretical Reflections on the Chilean Case*

    STUDY THE ORIGINS OF DEMOCRACY: THEORETICAL REFLECTIONS ON THE CHILEAN CASE* Arturo Valenzuela and Samuel Valenzuela Chile was one of the most democratic countries in the world, not only in the 1960s but also during the last century and a half. Political institutions in Chile evolved in a similar way to comparable institutions in Europe and the United States, in conditions generally considered to be unfavorable for the development of representative processes and procedures. Based on the Chilean case, this article seeks to help explain the origin and consolidation of democratic regimes. In the author’s opinion, the Chilean case calls into question the general validity of the most accepted theories of the gestation of democratic regimes. The article provides an historical interpretation of the evolution of Chile’s institutional structures compared to other western democracies; it then points out the shortcomings in cultural and economic theories of the origin of democracy; and lastly, it stresses the value that a historical and political approach can provide to the gestation of democratic institutions, as can be inferred from the Chilean case in the 19th century. ARTURO VALENZUELA. Duke University. SAMUEL VALENZUELA. Harvard University. * This study presents an overview of some of the main arguments of a book by the same title to be published by Cambridge University Press. Estudios Públicos, 12 (autumn 1983). 2 ESTUDIOS PÚBLICOS A fter World War II there was a fundamental shift in the analysis of democratic regimes. Guided in part by the pessimism of authors such as Michels, Mosca and Pareto, who became skeptical of the ability of European societies to practice democratic ideals, the theorists of politics moved away from a preoccupation with constitutionalism and the normative implications of regime types, to a concern for understanding the actual operation of democracy in complex contemporary nation-states.

The Wilson Center honors the memory of Woodrow Wilson by bridging his two pas- sions — scholarship and policy. At the center, we bring together the thinkers and do- ers — policymakers, scholars and business leaders — in the hope that a frank and open dialogue will lead to better understanding, cooperation and public policy. During my two decades as a Member of Congress, I traveled several times to Brazil to examine shared interests between our two countries like energy security, climate change and international security cooperation. The Brazil Institute provides a sophisticated understanding of these issues, and the prospects of the bilateral relationship on the eve of President Obama’s trip to Brasilia and Rio was the topic of the first discussion I attended, the day before becoming President here.

It emphasizes.both a historical perspective and an analysis of current trends and issues. Using various analytical lenses, including cultural, structural, institutional, and rational- choice perspectives, the course focuses on the different kinds of political regimes and the patterns of political change that have characterized Latin American countries in the past century. We will take up several specific questions: Why have some countries in Latin America enjoyed more stable political systems than others? Why have some countries faced severe threats from guerrilla movements and even major social revolutions, while others succumbed to military coups, especially in the 1960s and 1970s? Why did Latin America experience a wave of democratization in the 1980s and what are the prospects for the consolidation of democracy in the region in the twenty-first century? In answering these questions, the course will provide a survey of the region’s political development, with particular emphasis on four countries: Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Venezuela.
