| Resumen: | Tesis de University of Michigan. Se menciona el atentado cometido por ETA contra Carrero Blanco y la situación política de Euskadi.
During the 20th century, Spain and Chile witnessed the rise of brutal dictatorships. Under the
direction of dictators Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet, the Spanish and Chilean regimes
engaged in human rights abuses to achieve their political, social, and economic goals. When the
dictatorships ended, both countries transitioned into democracy. This thesis analyzes how the
democratic transitions affected the extent of transitional justice achieved in post-dictatorship
Spanish and Chilean society. This study argues that Chile attained a greater degree of transitional
justice compared to Spain. Chile achieved increased transitional justice in post-dictatorship
society because of its strong democratic legacy, the democratic and human rights friendly
context of the region and time, the transition of governmental power to the left, and the
establishment of a truth commission. In Spain and Chile, transitional justice was restricted by the
need for negotiations between political ideologies, fear of instability, and amnesty laws.
Transitional justice was increasingly limited in Spain because of the continuation of conservative
governmental control, policies that suppressed transitional justice (the Pacto de olvido and 1977
Amnesty Law), and greater fear from democratic uncertainty, military violence, and terrorism.
This research gives historical context to the complicated natures of Spain’s and Chile’s
democratic transitions and attempts at transitional justice. Examining the past enhances
understanding of how Spain and Chile currently manage their histories of human rights abuses. |
