Tensions between State and Market in Chile
Since 1990, education has been the focus of policy initiatives relating to national development, and public investment has increased. However, highquality education remains an elusive aspiration for the majority of children, and the educational ‘good’ which is distributed is far from standard in Chile. The achievement gap between income groups and between the different school types is widening and confidence in the public education system is fall…

Gender relations, authoritarianism and democratization in Chile

Desde la Protesta a la Propuesta
Throughout the 1980s, the major political debates on Latin America revolved around the transitions from military to civilian regimes and the nature of the emerging democracies. The ‘women question’ occupied a prominent position in those debates because of the central role which women had played in the opposition movements and Latin American feminists’ analyses of gender oppression within a global context of political repression. These debates hav…
From Left to Right
This article examines the changing role of important sections of the Chilean political elites, from a Keynesian and Marxist cultural political and economic ethos, to a post-modernist set of values profoundly influenced by the ideas of free markets and state withdrawal, as proposed by Hayek and Friedman. From strong support for, and identification with, the role of the state as agent of change, social justice and social mobility, significant secti…
