Development in Chile 1990 - 2005: Lessons from a positive experience

Arbeitspapier

Chile, in the last 15 years, has shown remarkable results in terms of growth, poverty reduction and democratic governance. This paper reviews the structural changes that were behind these positive outcomes, as well as the pending challenges for Chile’s development. Also shows that Chile did better in terms of growth than social integration and that this is related to the weak representation and participation of a wide majority in the national debate and decision making process. It also draws conclusions valid for other Latin American countries’ development. – growth ; competitiveness ; poverty ; inequality ; institutions ; democratic governance
