Title: Changing Chile’s Historical Cycle or Radical Comprises?
Subtitle: The new President Gabriel Borić
DOI: 10.15457/frictions/0014
Description:
Will “the cradle of neoliberalism” also become its grave, as the new President of Chile promises? Igor Stipić, doctoral researcher at the Leibniz ScienceCampus, explores critically the dominant narrative of the 2021 presidential election being fought by two candidates reflecting polar opposites on the political scale – radical left and populist right. Instead, the text highlights the radical compromises the new president Gabriel Borić might need to make as he seeks to create a broad tent that will lead a society marked by recent protests towards democratic stability and fairness.
