The economic, political and social situation in Chile shows a country in transition. Some observers anticipate a broad "reboot" of the nation. While Chile is still seen by many as an example of progress in South America and of developmental potential in the global South, it faces a complex political constellation, particularly in the aftermath of the re-election of Michelle Bachelet. Many wonder how social and institutional innovations can be incepted without interrupting the country's remarkable success over the past decades. This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of Chile's situation and perspectives. In particular, it addresses the questions:
- What is Chile's real socio-political situation behind the curtains, irrespective of simplifications?
- What are the nation's main opportunities and problems?
- What future strategies will be concretely applicable to improve social balance and mitigate ideological divisions?
The result is aprovocative examination of a nation in search of identity and its role on the global stage.
