Join the Kellogg Institute in commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Chilean plebiscite of October 5, 1988, which opened the way to a return to democracy in the country. It occurred after an innovative and historic campaign against all odds that was planned in part by fellows of the Kellogg Institute from its earliest years. Key leaders from both sides of the aisle will discuss the "NO" campaign, Chile’s remarkable transition back to democracy, and lessons from the past 30 years, particularly as they might apply to struggles in democracy facing various parts of the world today.
Panelists to include:
- Andrés Allamand, a longtime Chilean politician and current senator who helped maintain peace during the country’s transition from dictatorship to democracy in the late 1980s
- Eugenio Tironi, a Chilean sociologist and communications strategist who spearheaded the 1988 political campaign that led to the ouster of longtime Chilean dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet
- Ignacio Walker, the Kellogg Institute’s Hewlett Fellow for Public Policy in fall 2018, is an academic and former politician
Presented by the Kellogg Institute with cosponsorship by the Institute for Educational Initiatives and the Inter-American Dialogue.
