Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Chile has continued to grow and prosper in the twenty-first century, this new edition of the definitive history of the country brings the story of its political, social and cultural development up to date. It describes how Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet, both highly educated Socialists, modernized the country and integrated new interests into Chilean political life, and how the billionaire, Harvard-trained economist Sebastian Piñera, who succeeded Bachelet, addressed the problems caused by the 2010 tsunami. In the last twenty years Chile diversified its economy, replaced a number of Pinochet's organizations with more inclusive institutions, cultivated Chilean culture, modernized its constitution, and fomented reconciliation of the various political factions – until economic crisis in early 2018 caused political chaos and occasionally violent public protest. Based on new statistics to measure Chile's economic and social development, this volume celebrates Chile's achievements and dissects its failures.

Download or read book Resiliency in Hostile Environments written by William L. Alexander and published by Associated University Presse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agricultural communities (communidades agr icolas) of Chile's Norte Chico are dynamic systems of indivisible communal land, inherited use rights, democratic decision-making, and diverse economic strategies closely linked to changing environmental conditions. In this semi-arid region where drought is chronic and poverty is widespread, families reproduce their livelihood and comunero culture through a variety of integrated economic, subsistence, and social practices. Based on fieldwork spanning years of extreme climate changes, this vividly detailed ethnography of daily life in a peasant community explores the full range of income-generating and resource management strategies and forms of cooperative mutual assistance that are available to these households. One family's story is highlighted to illustrate the extraordinary resiliency of these communities despite the harsh ecological and, at times, social and political environments in which they are situated. The book places these descriptions within the political economy of development in Chile's current transition to democracy. While the state is more attentive to rural poverty in the post-dictatorship era, some programs and policies informed by a discourse of modernization and standardization limit these traditionally flexible livelihood options.

Download or read book The Politics Of Chile written by Cesar Caviedes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chile's road to socialism, points out the author, was not a linear one. In the last twenty years political parties of an astonishingly wide range of opinions participated in the administration of the country, and their successes and failures have been clearly reflected in the shifting preferences of the voting population. Political ideas did not always receive nationwide acceptance; disobedience, dissent, and confrontation with the government or party officials in Santiago were frequent; and the struggle between centralism and provincial aspirations was a continuing fact of Chilean political life. Dr. Caviedes focuses clearly on the main protagonists of Chilean politics–the politicians and the voters–and interprets the changing fortunes of the different political parties, both historically and within the context of existing local social, political, and economic conditions. He provides a province-by-province analysis of twenty presidential and congressional elections, demonstrating the variegated character of the voters throughout the country and exploring as well the relevant links with the international political scene.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placing Latin America offers a thematic approach to the study of the diverse geographies of a globalizing region. This comprehensive text focuses on the dynamic connections between people, places, and environments rather than on predefined notions about the region. The book’s well-rounded and accessible analysis includes discussions of borders and migration, transnationalism and globalization, urbanization and landscapes of cities, the connections between economic development and political change, the physical environment and human-environmental interactions, and natural resources in the context of a global economy. The authors also explore social and cultural themes such as the illegal drug trade, social movements, tourism, and children and young people. Providing a nuanced and clear perspective, this book will be an invaluable guide for all those interested in the politics, economy, and society of a rapidly changing continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the twentieth century, the Chilean business elite has played a central role in the country, not just as entrepreneurs but also as political and social actors. The chapters in this book, the first in English on the history of Chilean business, focus on the importance of diversified family business groups in twentieth-century Chile, their dynamics, organisation, and management, and their interaction with foreign investors and the state. Using a range of company and government archives, as well as other contemporary sources in Chile, Britain, and the United States, the individual authors pay particular attention to many key topics: the evolution of the Edwards family businesses, those of Pascual Baburizza, Chilean corporate networks, British firms in the nitrate industry, the Anglo South American Bank, the Copec group, Compañía Explotadora de Tierra del Fuego, the energy sector, SOFOFA (the industrialists’ association), and the recent growth of Chilean multinationals.
