Deepening Demobilization: The State’s Transformation of Civil Society in the Poblaciones of Santiago, Chile

Abstract: Since Chile’s transition to an electoral regime in 1990, the demobilization of local organizations in Santiago’s poor and working-class neighborhoods, known as poblaciones, presents a puzzle, given the continuation of the neoliberal socioeconomic program that urban popular sectors mobilized against under the dictatorship. Ethnographic and interview data from two districts in southern Santiago reveal that the posttransition period has been characterized by increased state domination of local organizations in Sa… Show more

“…The neoliberal perspective understands the role of civil society in terms of a source of valuable information to improve efficiency in the government and the market, as well as a source of capacity to enable organizations to deliver social services, reducing the concept of civil society to being primarily identified with NGOs, or the Third Sector (Dagnino, 2010). The Chilean neoliberal state has been described as deliberately enacting a paradox: it extends into local communities to transform civil society organizations into service providers, actively producing and reproducing a civil society that is legitimized through the state's discourse and mechanisms of "provision" (Koppelman, 2017). Ataç et al (2020) bring a multi-level governance analysis to address municipal policies and practices of migrant inclusion, albeit in the European context.…”

“…Nevertheless, the particularity of Chilean popular civil society has been described as its recurrent indistinction from the state. Research shows that popular Chilean grassroots organisations tend to function as an extension of the state, which largely diminishes their capacity to make political institutions accountable (Koppelman, 2016;Roberts, 1998). Underprivileged urban areas have a strong tradition of contentious collective action.…”

“…La participación comunitaria en la construcción de ciudad ha sido reconocida en el actual movimiento de allegados, entendiéndola como una continuidad del movimiento de pobladores (Angelcos & Pérez, 2017), propuesta que disputa con la idea del desamparo y desarticulación de la organización social de los barrios (Koppelman, 2016;Özler, 2012). En los campamentos, Brain, Prieto & Sabatini (2010) exploran en los significados asociados al vivir en estos territorios, en vistas del progresivo aumento desde los años 2000.…”
