Item Open Access A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DEVELOPMENT DURING THE ARGENTINE AND CHILEAN JUNTA(University of Oregon, 2023) Munly, Bo; CHAKRABORTY, SHANKHAThe purpose of this study is to understand why Argentina and Chile, countries in the same region that in some years were concurrently rule by two superficially similar regimes (the most recent Argentine junta known as the Ultima Dictadura and the Chilean junta headed by Augusto Pinochet), had such divergent development outcomes and left their democratic heirs with greatly differing mandates and political cultures. This work attempts to further understanding of the Chilean economy’s success and Argentina’s continual struggles by comparing the countries’ most recent juntas regimes on the basis of their initial mandates, how they acted upon those mandates and how successful each regime’s policies were.
