Las transformaciones doctrinales del gremialismo en la neoliberalización del Régimen Cívico-Militar de Chile: 1973-1980

This paper analyses the doctrinal transformations experienced by “gremialismo” (an unofficial political party which supported the Civil-Military Regime that ruled Chile between 1973 and 1989) in view of the predominance of neo-liberalism from 1976 onwards, emphasising the transcendental aspects of its perceptions. Official documents are analysed (The Declaration of Principles of the Chilean Government, the Chacarillas Speech and The Future Vision of Chile) to establish textual macro-forms in the changing contexts of the CMR’s power scenarios. This therefore provides an understanding of the manner in which a Latin American civil-military regime historically adopted neo-liberalism while the traditional, conservative right-wing turned to technocracy.
