Abstract

T he Chile Project investigates what the author describes as “Chile’s paradox”: the nation’s intricate relationship with the neoliberal economic and political framework. The study begins by tracing the adoption of neoliberal policies during Augusto Pinochet’s regime and their subsequent evolution under democratic administrations, culminating in the 2019 insurrection and the 2021 election of President Gabriel Boric, committed to dismantling those neoliberal policies, as these events reflect widespread dissatisfaction with the neoliberal model.
