“…In its own words, the dictatorship strove to give Chile 'a new institutional basis, ... to rebuild the country morally, institutionally and materially' (cited in Taylor, 1998: 39). The main tenets of the dictatorship's macroeconomic restructuring in Chile are well documented and involved a reorientation of production towards exports and an extensive recasting of state activities in the economic and social spheres (Fortín, 1985;Martínez and Díaz, 1996;Petras and Leiva, 1994). A complementary aspect of this neoliberal restructuring drive was the implementation of extensive changes in the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of social service provision.…”

“…The latter saw an intense centralization of productive resources into the hands of a small number of large economic conglomerates who used preferential access to international credit to profit from the Pinochet regime's mass privatization of public assets at subsidised rates (cf.

This article subjects the much-heralded Chilean `model' of social policy reform to a critical analysis. It places the Chilean reforms within the political—economic conjuncture from which they emerged and relates the trends towards privatization and decentralization to the larger neoliberal movement towards societal restructuring. Through an examination of pension, education and health reforms, the article argues that the Chilean reformulation of social policy has serious failings in terms of both pervasive structural weaknesses and a profound polarization of service provision. These factors pose important questions regarding the propagation of similar neoliberal social policy models in the Global South.
