Introduction Contemporary Chile constitutes a fortunate blending of economic liberalism with political democracy for political and economic orthodoxy. Domestic accomplishments have been coupled with a new international status. In 1993, the country applied for membership, and formally joined APEC during the November 1994 summit in Djakarta. Chile began its accession to NAFTA in early January 1995. As one of Latin America's strongest economies, ostensibly with political stability, it is attractive to foreign investors. It is hardly surprising that the mainstream media has praised the Chilean example as a model for the region, the Third World and beyond; a major Canadian newspaper went as far as proposing that Canada emulate the southern republic. Of course, by contrast with most of the Third World, Chile appears as an island of stability and prosperity; an optimistic view shared by many Chileans. Academics and bureaucrats in the Hemisphere and as far away as Eastern Europe have made Chile part of their credo
