| Summary/Abstract |
TWELVE COUNTRIES. Roughly 40% of global GDP. One-third of world trade. More than five years of talks, 30 topics of negotiation and 6,000 pages of text. All of this went into the Trans-Pacific Partnership Treaty, a free trade agreement (FTA) that was one of the world's most ambitious economic projects but never came into force. It was an accord of a new type that stated a new perception of trade, was to be a major step in its liberalization, and reflected all key international trends from e-commerce to gender equality.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE 1990s were a time of change for Chile. March 11, 1990 was the first day in office of the first democratically elected president in 17 years. Patricio Aylwin. Aylwin succeeded dictator Augusto Pinochet, who had ruled the country since 1973. Pinochet's Chile was generally ostracized by the international community. His radical right-wing regime was condemned by the Soviet Union and its allies. Most of them, including the Soviet Union, severed their diplomatic relations with Chile after the military coup of September 11, 1973, and the death of the overthrown president Salvador Allende. The majority of Western states denounced mass violations of human rights in Chile. A workgroup on Chile was established within the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, a measure that had no precedents in UN history and in effect represented condemnation, although indirect, of the Pinochet regime by the organization.1 Chile immediately became an international pariah, a country shunned by the Eastern bloc, the West and the Non-Aligned Movement alike.
