Augusto Pinochet

The case studies that I chose to analyze is Burma's failed attempt for democracy and Chile's hard fought victory for democracy and resignation of Augusto Pinochet. My reasoning for selecting these two cases, is due to the history of violence that these two nations have undergone. The only difference in my investigation is that one was successful going against the opposition while the other failed at its attempt. In the late 1980's the reign of Augusto Pinochet culminated with the rise of Patricio Aylwin as the new Chilean democratic president and vanquished the old dictatorship that abused of human rights with support from mass mobilization and loyalty shifts.
