ABSTRACT

The May 16 elections for the constitutional convention in Chile sent a strong and clear message in favor of independent representatives over political parties, while also shifting politics markedly to the Left. The composition of the new constitutional convention raises important questions about the future of the Chilean economic model, such as the opportunities and constraints facing the convention as it rewrites the economic rules, and the potential benefits and pitfalls of such changes.

This event is part of the Academic Forum for the New Constitution in Chile. It will be held in Spanish with simultaneous English translation.
