		Although politics during the parliamentary period was often chaotic and corrupt, Chile enjoyed unusual prosperity based on a booming nitrate trade and relatively enlightened leadership.

	WOMEN OF CHILE REDEFINE POLITICS AND PUBLIC LIFE
		What is going on in the squatters' communities that rim Chile's capital city is no less than a redefinition of public life, a definition shaped by women who are "active agents" of change, not simply passive mothers responding to a family crisis, says Liliana Suarez, a Stanford University doctoral student in anthropology.
		She became fascinated reading about the growth of women's movements in urban squatter communities throughout much of Latin America, and was particularly amazed by the women in Chile because virtually all public life had come to a halt there until the poorest women emerged as a challenge to the state's absolute authority.
		The Catholic Church, the political left that has traditionally represented the poor of Chile in politics, and private feminist organizations from other countries all played a role in bringing the women together or in setting the tone of their discussions, she said.

		The laptop introduction was made during the launch party of a new political movement, called “Chile Primero” (ES), or “Chile First”.
		A few days ago I read about the arrival of the OLPC XO to Chile, but for a strange reason I realize that the opportunists and the new opportunists 2.0 are behind this arrival and the overexposure of this device, which goes against what Negroponte’s project stipulates about keeping the project non-profit.
		One of the politicians commited to bringing the OLPC to Chile is Senator (and veteran blogger) Fernando Flores, who recently dropped out of his former party, the PPD, (Party For the Democracy) for several reason he did not explain, however, the left wing has been inolved in several corruption scandals in recent months.

	RAND \| Papers \| Peasant Organizations and Politics in Chile : 1958-1964.
		A survey of the origins, evolution, and purposes of the major peasant organizations in Chile, showing that Latin American political life is more complex than the primitivism by which it is often characterized.
		The evolution of organizations which they spawned reveals much about the functioning of Chile's politics, the alliances possible among apparently disparate groups, the ruptures that come between ideological brethren even in time of crisis, and the great political importance of personality at particular moments.
		Peasant organizations were so weak that they played only a small part in promoting the government's serious concern over agrarian reform; they certainly were not the source of demands nor did they greatly influence the legislation which resulted.

		Like many of their compatriots, they have been disappointed in the 1990s with the restored democracy's disinterest in social reform and devotion to the dictatorship's market-oriented economic model.
		On the one hand, they have been alienated by the lack of working-class participation in politics, by the debility of their unions, by the concentration of income and wealth, and by the predominance of individualism and consumerism.
