Extract
Since the mid-1970s, the Southern Cone countries of Latin America have experienced profound political, institutional, and economic reforms. Their immediate causes can be found in the evolution of their relatively recent (prereform) political situation, which saw marked polarization of different groups and political forces, social unrest, and a general feeling of dissatisfaction with the countries’ economic performance.
These events were followed by the installation of military regimes, with the new characteristic of trying to go far beyond the traditional attempt of introducing social (and particularly, labor) discipline and put the “house in order.”
