Recent History In Chile: An Outlook Of The New Political History

Abstract

During the last decade, recent history, seen as an historical
perspective, has had an important development in Latin America,
especially in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil
and, to a lesser extent, Chile. However, over the last years,
the interest to study this is on increase, particularly the topics
related to the civic-military dictatorship and the transition process
to democracy. The new political history has made a major
contribution to it. The present article seeks to characterize the
recent history in Chile, paying special attention to contributions
made from a new political history. Investigation about
political parties and political culture is an example of this.

Keywords: Chile, recent history, a new political history, political
parties, political culture.
