The violent repression used by the Pinochet regime to maintain power and transform the country's political profile and economic system has received less attention than the Argentine military dictatorship, even though the Pinochet regime endured twice as long. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this primary study of \u003ci\u003eChile Under Pinochet\u003c\/i\u003e, Mark Ensalaco maintains that Pinochet was complicit in the \"enforced disappearance\" of thousands of Chileans and an unknown number of foreign nationals. Ensalaco spent five years in Chile investigating the impact of Pinochet's rule and interviewing members of the truth commission created to investigate the human rights violations under Pinochet. The political objective of human rights organizations, Ensalaco contends, is to bring sufficient pressure to bear on violent regimes to induce them to end policies of repression. However, these efforts are severely limited by the disparities of power between human rights organizations and regimes intent on ruthlessly eliminating dissent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Ensalaco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812235207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812235203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.63h x 6.52w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/11\/1999 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2000 pg. 605","brand":"Mark Ensalaco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064766083327,"sku":"9780812235203","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee578567-9a45-42b5-8d3a-df341ea83eba.jpg?v=1768670909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chile-under-pinochet-mark-ensalaco-9780812235203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
