Pinochet's Economic Accomplices

An Unequal Country by Force

Description

With a focus on Chile, Pinochet’s Economic Accomplices: An Unequal Country by
Force uses theoretical arguments and empirical studies to argue that focusing on
the behavior of economic actors of the dictatorship is crucial to achieve basic objectives
in terms of justice, memory, reparation, and non-repetition measures. This
book makes visible a number of cases of economic complicity with the Chilean
dictatorship and explains their links with the radical inequalities the country has
today while proposing a theoretical framework for their study. Scholars of Latin
American studies, history, sociology, economics, business, and human rights will
find this book particularly useful.

“What's the relationship of political and economic injustice? This much anticipated tome exposes the lie of the Pinochet myth of the so called Chilean success story under its period of dictatorship: To the contrary, as the authors clearly show here repression and economic inequality went hand in hand producing long-term devastating consequences for Chile and other countries in the region today. A must read.”

Ruti Teitel, New York Law School
“Indivisibility and interdependence of all human rights—being civil, political, economic,
social, and cultural rights—require holistic approaches when violations
have been perpetrated at high scale. Elucidating the role of the State agents as
well as civil actors—from the economic, ecclesiastic, and any other sphere—is a
crucial step towards achieving the guarantees of non-repetition and the fulfillment
of protecting obligations of a democratic State, such as the Chilean one, concerning
each person subjected to its jurisdiction and the society as a whole. This book
represents a contribution in that direction.”

Fabián Salvioli, UN Special Rapporteur on the Promotion of Truth, Justice, Reparation, and Guarantees of Non-Recurrence
