Las elecciones presidenciales y parlamentarias de 2005 en Chile

During 2005 and 2006 eleven Latin American countries will held or had presidential elections, from Mexico in the north to Peru, Bolivia and Chile in the south. There was also or will be in Haiti, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil. This article analyzes the presidential election in Chile in which Michelle Bachelet was elected, the first woman in the history of Chile and in South America to become head of state through a popular election. This has generated international interest, due to its impact on the increase in the participation of women in public activity. The political and institutional factors that explain the fourth presidential triumph of the Coalition for Democracy, the center-left coalition that has maintained the leadership of the government since the return to democracy in 1990, are examined.
