According to our hypothesis, economic modernization was a precondition for Chile’s social depoliticization, the redefinition of politics, and the making of a new “democracy”. Regionalization allowed a staggered participation, where the most important decisions were centralized at a national or regional level, while grassroots citizen activity remained relegated to the lowest rung, the local level. Pinochet’s “democracy” would be of a municipal nature. Este artículo analizará el proceso de regionalización impulsado por la dictadura del general Augusto Pinochet, a fines de los años setenta. Nuestra hipótesis es que en el caso chileno la modernización económica era condición para la despolitización social, la redefinición de la política y la construcción de una nueva “democracia”. La regionalización permitía escalonar la participación, centralizando las decisiones importantes en el nivel nacional y regional, relegando la incorporación ciudadana al último nivel, el escalón comunal. La “democracia” pinochetista sería comunal.
