“…Another challenge is the digitalization of SMEs, as there is inadequate enforcement of antitrust regulation, thus enabling 'oligopolization' of already scarce infrastructure and predatory pricing for SMEs and the general public. The Chilean Constitution protects private property (including company income) over and above public interest and the common good which makes antitrust regulation and telecommunications frameworks virtually "toothless" (Agostini et al, 2017).…”

This paper reports on a comparative study between the structures, regulation and challenges of small and medium size businesses (SMEs) in Australia and two Latin American jurisdictions – Chile and Cuba - with the object of exploring ways in which SME-propitious ecosystem can be configured in an unprecedented crisis situation. It examines the legislation, bodies and regulation in place which deal with SME issues, including consumer protection,and the differing contextual considerations, taking cognizance of the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the paper explores ways in which SMEs can be assisted and advised of their legal rights, including the provision of clinical and advisory support at a university level, and considers the steps taken by governments in mitigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. To compare practices and learn from them the research utilizes three case studies and contrasts the issues faced in an emerging economy such as Cuba with more established frameworks such as Chile and Australia, both OECD countries.

“…Despite programs designed to keep costs at urban levels, uptake is limited by both poverty and unfamiliarity with relevant technology. In addition, the country's largest phone networks have engaged in predatory pricing (Correa et al, 2017;Agostini et al, 2017).…”

Chile, Colombia and Mexico have long been at the heart of neo-liberal experimentation and cybertarian fantasy. The former has denuded their ability to meet the needs of the citizenry in general, the latter to provide a democratic media. The contemporary pandemic has put these deregulated, privatized economies under particular strain – market solutions to social problems have proven dramatically, drastically, predictably inefficient. In the sphere of education, the isolation of school pupils and workers, mandated in the interest of public health, has driven a return to public broadcasting. Combined with mass public agitation and media-reform movements, that provides hope for a new landscape.

“…In our opinion, this kind of thing would be the looting of the social upsurge of October 2019. Now, in Chile these critical levels are related to its current social system, which has originated a problem of economic and social inequality (Contreras, Otero, Díaz, & Suárez, 2019;Martínez, Hodgson, Mullen, & Timms, 2018;Méndez & Otero, 2018;Olavarría-Gambi, 2012;Rotarou & Sakellariou, 2017;Tejada, 2016), and with a phenomenon of transversal corruption of a majority sector of partisan politics (illegal financing of politics), of the company (collusion, fraud), ranging from economic "privileges" to economic criminality with significant degrees of impunity (Agostini, Willington, Lazcano, & Saavedra, 2017;Bel & Trillas, 2005;Borgias, 2018;Escobar-Farfán, Cardoza Cardoza, Vega, & Cañas, 2017) 3 .…”

Since the social explosion in October 2019 in Chile, a series of social phenomena have occurred in that country that are worthy of review and study. Some of these phenomena have antisocial/criminal characteristics. Within these phenomena, looting is one of them. These took place from the first moments of the social outburst. The objective of this research is to study the criminal phenomenon of looting during the social explosion of October 2019 and throughout that period. But in addition, and because they are similar social phenomena and occurred in the same geographical-human space (Chile) and in periods not so distant in time, the looting that took place during the earthquake of February 27th, 2010 (27/F) in Chile will be the object of investigation. Our theoretical option to study this criminal phenomenon will be the so-called Disaster Studies, and in particular, from what we could call a disaster criminology. We will use not only the specialized literature on disasters, but also the academic works related to the earthquake of February 27th and the journalistic literature related to the looting during the earthquake of 27/F as well as that related to the social explosion of October 2019.
