Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 2,3, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: It is claimed by the World Bank and other authors that Chile has been a success in privatising their public sector. This research paper shall analyse this claim with respect to Chile's energy sector. Moreover, this paper investigates into the World Bank's privatisation strategies during times of the Washington and Post-Washington Consensus, whereby criticism is expressed.
