Abstract

“Development” is not only a concept but a particular relationship between state, market, and society. Chile’s achievements are tied to an effort to break through old political impasses to establish a new coalition based on a model of development that balances the roles of state, market, and society, with positive economic and social outcomes. The philosophy of the coalition and some of its policies are described. Chile is one of only ten countries since the end of World War II to have achieved a combination of rapid and widespread economic growth, consolidated democracy, and a competent bureaucracy with low corruption.
