Der Putsch nach dem Putsch. Gedanken zur Metamorphose des chilenischen Militars

In: Welt-Trends: das außenpolitische Journal, Heft 49, S. 87-95

Abstract

The ideological change within the Chilean military before & after the coup in 1973 is the central issue of this article. Before the developments in the early 1970s, the cardinal mindset of the military leaders was one of a state-run evolution of society. After the coup, this thinking changed rapidly into a neoliberal kind. How could this happen? Which explanations have been & which should be discussed? These questions are answered & it is shown that the military itself played a bigger role than previously thought. Adapted from the source document.
