Open Government and Targeted Transparency
Transparency and integrity are key factors in consolidating democratic governance and deepening the modernization of the state. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has been supporting country efforts to achieve open government, providing technical support and knowledge on transparency in the LAC region. With the support of the Norwegian government, the IDB created the Anticorruption Activities Trust Fund (AAF), aimed at strengthening the institutional capacity of the Bank's borrowing countries in their efforts to prevent and control corruption. After four years in operation, the fund has gained recognition, both inside and outside the Bank, as a source of innovation and best practices in terms of access to information and targeted transparency. This publication compiles some of the experiences and lessons learned from five different countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guatemala), with direct support from the AAF.
Species of Capital in the Political Elite
Although sociological research has examined the reproduction of Chile’s elites, there is little empirical evidence as to how different forms of capital operate within them. Based on a survey of the country’s elites, this study examines the effect of different forms of capital (cultural, social and political) on access to strategic positions in the legislative and executive branches of government. It focuses on the political elite between 1990, when military dictator Augusto Pinochet handed over the presidency to Patricio Aylwin, his democratically elected successor, and 2010, the end of President Michelle Bachelet’s first government. At least three points are germane to this analysis: (1) understanding the nature of the party elites during the political transition; (2) describing and explaining the main aspects of the party elites’ background and social resources, including their family networks (independent variables); and (3) exploring the effect of those variables on individuals’ chances of achieving strategic positions in the political field, comparing the legislative and executive branches as represented by deputies and ministers (dependent variable).
Historical Dictionary of Chile
This two-volume Historical Dictionary of Chile covers the economy and the environment, political parties and history, and reprehensible period of dictatorship during a crucial time in Chile’s history. The end of the iron-fist rule of Augusto Pinochet, who ruled from 1973 until 1990, however, allowed a return to democratic rule, and the country kept searching for coherence and unity in national life among diverse and often discordant elements. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Chile contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Chile.

Gobierno abierto y transparencia focalizada
La transparencia y la integridad son factores clave para consolidar la gobernabilidad democrática y profundizar la modernización del Estado. El Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) ha respaldado los esfuerzos de los países de América Latina y el Caribe para lograr abrir los gobiernos, posicionándose como una fuente principal de apoyo técnico y generación de conocimiento en temas de transparencia en la región. Con el apoyo del gobierno de Noruega, el BID creó el Fondo Fiduciario para Actividades contra la Corrupción, con el propósito de fortalecer la capacidad institucional de los países prestatarios en sus esfuerzos para prevenir y controlar la corrupción. Después de cuatro años de operación, el Fondo ha ganado reconocimiento dentro y fuera del Banco por ser un instrumento catalizador de innovación y buenas prácticas en materia de acceso a la información y transparencia focalizada. En este informe se recogen algunas de las experiencias y lecciones aprendidas en cinco países (Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador y Guatemala) con apoyo directo del Fondo.
