Abstract
The article explores the political economy of the Chilean military regime as it affected agricultural development, with a focus on the social consequences of its neo liberal policies. Rural social structures and political organizations are examined in the light of changing economic conditions. The contradiction between Chile's economic success and the growing pauperization and marginalization of the bulk of the rural population is analyzed. New forms of mass organization and popular survival strategies are counterpoised to new forms of capitalist restructuring of rural Chile. The paper concludes by highlighting the structural difficulties faced by the new democratic government in instituting much-needed social reforms within the context of a thorough counter-revolution in the agrarian sector.
