{"product_id":"social-revolt-in-chile-carlos-pea-9781032184012","title":"Social Revolt in Chile: Triggering Factors and Possible Outcomes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book investigates why Chile suddenly confronted a violent social revolt in October 2019, after almost thirty years of political stability, during which time the country was broadly regarded as Latin America's most successful nation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince democratic restoration in 1990, Chile's relatively high levels of political stability, increasing prosperity and social modernisation have stood out in a region shaken by political convulsion and economic malaise. In early October 2019, President Sebasti疣 Pira confidently claimed that Chile represented a true 'oasis' of political stability and economic vitality in Latin America. However, just weeks later, the announcement of a small increase in the price of Santiago's underground transport system unleashed an unprecedented wave of violent anti-government protests in the country, with protestors ultimately demanding Pira's resignation and the end of neoliberalism and the 1980 Constitution, among many other demands. This book analyses the causes of Chile's socio-political upheaval, arguing that the fast social and economic modernisation produced by the neoliberal system led to a series of destabilising socio-political processes in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt a time when much analysis of the October uprising tends to be superficial or polarised on ideological grounds, this book provides a much-needed sociological and institutional analysis of the crisis. It will be an important read for scholars of Latin American politics and development, as well as those with a broader interest in state legitimacy, social movements and political contestation against neoliberalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlos Pe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032184019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032184012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Carlos Pe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066893889791,"sku":"9781032184012","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caa17c80-3580-4e4e-a6e6-f6df6a8d73bf.jpg?v=1685409959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-revolt-in-chile-carlos-pea-9781032184012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
