Abstract

Chile, long ruled by the military regime headed by Augusto Pinochet, has adopted a new left-leaning Constitution by popular referendum in 2022 after a three-year cycle of violent protests against the previous, democratically elected but economically neoliberal government. The future of that South American nation remains uncertain because of the worsening financial situation in the continent and the controversial provisions and reforms enshrined in the new dispensation.
