ABSTACT

The 2019 protests revealed to the world a huge gap between the results of the Chilean democratic system and the social demands of ordinary Chileans citizen. Although many international observers viewed Chile as a political and economic model, in recent years public dissatisfaction with the functioning of both the political and economic systems reached levels extraordinarily high. That is why the current constituent process is seen as a way to address the growing social demands that have shaken the Chilean political and economic system. This forum will analyze whether the process of writing the Constitution, will be able to effectively address the social demands that have shaken the country and restore public confidence?
