Before the CIA-supported 1973 coup that placed Pinochet in power, Chile enjoyed democracy for several decades. Remarkably, after less than a decade of Pinochet's brutal repression of his people, Chileans were able to slowly introduce changes that lay the foundation for the eventual return of democracy. This is a huge national accomplishment. In this episode, Dr. Claudio Fuentes takes us through the history of Chile's polarized politics from prior to 1973 to 2022. Despite this polarization, Chile's democracy has survived. Perhaps the reason is that Chileans have experienced the alternative to democracy: Pinochet's years. As our politics become more polarized here in the U.S., we can learn quite a lot from Chile, in how fragile democracy is, in how polarization can destroy democracy. Dr. Fuentes is a professor at the School of Political Science at Diego Portales University in Chile. His academic interests focus on the study of political processes in Chile and Latin America, and in recent years on the study of the dynamics of institutional change. Among his many other recognitions, Dr. Fuentes won the award for the best doctoral thesis awarded by the American Political Science Association (APSA) and is a Luksic Fellow at Harvard University (2011). In Chile, was a member of the Presidential Anti-Corruption Advisory Council (2015). He is an associate researcher at the Center for Intercultural and Indigenous Studies (CIIR) and coordinates the Constitutional Laboratory at Diego Portales University.

Hassan Akram (Wake Forest University) XXII IDP Industrial Development and Policy Lecture Following its transition to democracy in the 1990s, Chile was an early and enthusiastic adopter of the strategy of global economic integration via bilateral and later multilateral Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) as well as through Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs). Chile signed is first FTA with Bolivia in 1993 and quickly negotiated agreements with all its major trading partners including the EU (2003), the USA (2004) and China (2006). To date Chile has 26 active FTAs and 37 active BITs, the second highest number in Latin America. The ratification of these treaties by Congress, following their negotiation by the General Directorate of International Economic Relations (DIRECON), was largely a formality, each one passing with very large, near unanimous, majorities demonstrating Chile’s commitment to neoliberal globalisation. When Donald Trump pulled the USA out of the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) the Chilean government was instrumental in the resurrection of this multilateral trade pact, which was re-baptised, without the USA, as the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CP-TPP). Given Chile’s bipartisan commitment to trade integration through multilateral treaties the government assumed that the ratification of the CP-TPP would be a fait accompli but a very vocal civil society movement engaged in very high mobilisation against it. Although the treaty passed in the Chamber of Deputies there was the highest level of parliamentary rejection of a TLC in Chilean history. We will seek to analyse and understand why multilateral trade integration has become politically controversial in Chile, contrasting the ‘pragmatic’ case against this particular agreement with the broader politicised rejection of the neoliberal project tout court.

At the start of Populism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2017), five different, and competing, approaches to populism. It has been used to describe those on the left and the right, those in power and those seeking out power. Into this confusion, Cas Mudde and Cristobal Rovira Kaltwasser offer clarity and brevity to the challenge of figuring out what populism is exactly. Mudde is associate professor of international affairs at the University of Georgia; Kaltwasser is associate professor of political science at the Diego Portales University in Santiago, Chile. Mudde and Kaltwasser suggest that an ideational approach to populism offers needed clarification. They argue that populism is centered on specific ideas about The People, The Elite, and The General Will. Whether populism emerges in the form of a social movement, like Occupy Wall Street, or political parties, such as the populism parties spread across Europe, or even populist leaders, these ideas distinguish populists. But they also suggest that the thin-centeredness of populism means it often is connected to other ideologies, such as socialism or authoritarianism. Populism then can manifest in a specific political context as a left-wing movement or a charismatic strongman. Gender, too, matters, as masculinity and definitions of the role of women, feature prominently in populism.

Populism has become a bit of a buzz word of late. It’s often at the very center of debates about politics and elections. But what about the economic implications of populism? That was the subject of a seminar at this year’s American Economic Association’s Annual Meeting. The panel was organized by the IMF’s Antonio Spilimbergo, and included economic heavyweights Dani Rodrik, Raghuram Rajan, and political scientist Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser. In this Podcast, Kaltwasser says populism is creeping into economic policy.   Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser is an Associate Professor in Political Science at Diego Portales University in Chile, and co-author of Populism: A Very Short Introduction.
