This book analyzes collective protests and contentious politics in Chile over a span of 13 years. Utilizing an unprecedented database developed by the Centre for Social Conflict and Cohesion Studies (COES), twenty social scientists provide a systematic overview of conflicts between 2008 and 2020 in the so-called “laboratory of neoliberalism”. Readers will understand different aspects of social protest in Chile in the realms of labor, student activism, pension issues, as well as contentious episodes regarding gender rights, socio-territorial mobilizations, conflicts over memory, and the thorny Mapuche question. Readers will also discover spectacular findings about the popular rebellion of 2019 as well as an inventory of contentious mechanisms and tactical repertoires routinely employed by Chilean civil society groups.
