Abstract

The myth of Chilean democracy was deeply rooted: ‘the oldest and most stable democracy in Latin America’ in a region characterized by military coups and political instability. From 1831 to 1970 a long succession of presidents had been elected by vote, and all had completed and respected their terms of office. Of course, during a long lapse of time such as this there were short periods of conflict, but what other Latin America country could boast a similar record of 140 years’ continuous fulfillment of democracy? Chile’s historical tradition reiterated and maximized the democratic myth, ignoring any historic conflicts and events that might diminish it.
