LASA paper

Tomorrow is the deadline to get a LASA paper submitted to be included on the conference CD-Rom, so I’ve finished up some final revisions.

I have a rough draft done, though it certainly still needs work (forgive the formatting--I don't have time to get a copy of Acrobat installed on campus at the moment). The title is “The Transition is Dead, Long Live the Transition: Bachelet’s Inheritance of Chilean Civil-Military Relations.” It examines the way in which the concept of “transition” has been used in Chile, the reasons for differences in definitions, and how these often diverge from academic definitions. It has mutated as I’ve worked on it.

The final conference program is now available online for anyone interested.
