contents Party Change in Chile in Comparative Perspective Alan Angell Política This article looks at the changes in party systems generally in modern democracies, and argues thatmany trends observed internationally – growing mistrust of parties, growing electoral de-alignment – arealso observed in Chile. Hence any analysis of party change in Chile has to take into account what ishappening in other countries with well-established party systems. The article argues that the comparisonwith the past tends to be limited to the exceptional 1964-1973 period and that a more extended analysispoints to many continuities in the Chilean party system. Competing arguments over whether there is newparty cleavage in Chile based on the opposition between support for authoritarianism or support fordemocracy are also examined*. 2003 artículo científico 0716-1417 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32423205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=324 Revista de Ciencia Política application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Revista de Ciencia Política (Chile) Num.2 Vol.XXIII
