La política del pasado en chile 1990-2006: ¿un modelo chileno?

Abstract

This article analyzes the politics of the past in Chile from 1990 to the death of Pinochet in December 2006. Grounded in theoretical concepts of the politics of the past from the German and European academic debates, it discusses five phases in the development of the Chilean politics of the past. With special attention to the public discourse, the article tries to get to an impartial result, which recognizes the big achievements of Chile in dealing with the past, but does not follow the idea of the Chilean politics of the past as "a model" to follow.
