President of Chile

Chile was once a colony of Spain. Spanish built extractive institutions in Chile and other regions of Americas to gain themselves wealth by exploited the indigenous people. Firstly, they captured the indigenous leader. Secondly, they made themselves higher state than the leaders and took control of the whole system. They created encomienda, mita, repartimiento, and trajin to extract as more wealth as possible and forced the indigenous people to live in the lowest standard. The indigenous people…

economic freedom as a control variable in a relationship between economic growth and political freedom. They concurred in their research that economic freedom directly affects economic growth positively. An example is in 1970 and the years following, Chile recorded one of the lowest scores in economic freedom and in return they had a suffering economy. But later the economy started experiencing major growth from the 1980’s, which exhibited an increase in economic growth of 7.2% compared to other…

nation of Chile is situated in western South America. It is a long nation that pretty much 50% of its fringe is coastline. I picked this Spanish-talking nation on the grounds that I thought it would be intriguing. The atmosphere is one condition that may fluctuate inside distinctive areas. The nation broadens a long separation from north to south. There is an absence of precipitation toward the north. There the air has the capacity hold a significant part of the dampness. Center Chile has hot,…

through an exhaustive analysis, the authoritarianism of these regimes requires a comparison. Expansion of the similarities and the differences between Mubarak and Pinochet will provide a deeper understanding of the flexibility of autocracy. Egypt and Chile are an ocean apart, literally and figuratively. The regions differ greatly in nearly all facets such as origins, geography, language, social beliefs, and countless more. Examining a Middle Eastern authoritarianism and a Latin American…

Governments has ranged from opposite ideological ends of the spectrum. After Salvador Allende, who was democratically elected by the Chilean people, was over thrown by Agusto Pinochet due to poor economic reform and a spike in inflation, the state of Chile efficiently turned around the economy because of neo-liberal economic policy enforced by not a democratic government but an authoritarian state. Pinochet’s powers associated with being a dictator allowed him to foster a growing economy due to…

SANTIAGO, Chile — From my home here, I look up at the immense mountain range of the Andes and my spirits are lifted. Since my childhood, these mountains have bestowed on me a sense of security and permanence sadly absent from my life, but in these troubling times, they afford me something else: an intimation of hope. Because, exactly 200 years ago, on Feb. 12, 1817, a group of men crossed these very Andes, impenetrable, colossal, majestic, in an extraordinary journey that was to liberate Chile…

for change for the working class against the Chilean government during the 1970s. In the midst of an upsurge of worker militancy, the 1970 presidential election was taking place. Running was Salvador Allende who represented the common people of Chile. Allende led the left-wing coalition Popular Unity (UP) and for many Chilean workers, the UP government embodied their aspirations for a better life. In Peter Winn’s book, Weavers of Revolution, he tells the story of the Chilean revolution…

Court would have to rule whether the amendment was constitutional or not. When Chile was transitioning to democracy there were fourteen justices out of the sixteen who were appointed during the regime (Huneeus 2007, 439). The nine designated senators that were appointed was also pro Pinochet. Their presence would ensure that Pinochet would continue to be supported in the legislature. These impediments limited the party coalitions’ responsiveness and ability to enact legislation that would…

In the painting, “Assiniboine Chief before and after Civilization” by George Catlin, it illustrated the tragic differences and the conflicts amongst the Native Americans and the white people. In the painting it shows two men dressed in different clothing on different sides of the painting. As you look closely you can tell that the two men are actually just one person. That mysterious man is an assiniboine chief. Located on the left side of the painting, the chief stands so great and proud. He…

The identity of individuals in post-European-colonization Latin America is simultaneous fragile and dynamic. Previously clear ethno-racial lines and national allegiances began to blend in the nineteenth century, contributing greatly to an increasingly poignant dilemma in selfhood. The lives of two prominent Latin American revolutionists, Simo ́n Boli ́var and Jose de San Marti ́n, uniquely demonstrated the dichotomous nature of having both European and Latin American connections of a political and…
