| Sumario: | This article explores the regionalization process promoted by General Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship towards the end of the ‘70s. 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. |
