智利：改革前路漫漫

Abstract:In 2014，Chile’s political scene was dominated by the return to power of a former president，M. Bachelet of the centre-left coalition. The new government is pursuing a series of redistributive policies focused on tax and education reform. Generally speaking，although Bachelet is facing the challenge of balancing pressure from the centre-right Alianza and the more Conservative elements within her coalition，results have been achieved in the implementation of reform plans. With regard to economy，there has been a sharp slowdown in growth as a result of a contraction in investment and slower private consumption growth. Therefore，a package of plans to spur economic growth has been vigorously promoted by the central government. In social terms，a series of explosions have drawn government attention to the public security sphere. The popularity of new media has advanced the development of social movements. The minimum wage has increased for three consecutive years. As to international relations，Bachelet attended APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Beijing and paid a working visit to China. Chile strengthened relations with the US. The Pacific Alliance made a major step forward. The dispute between Chile and Bolivia remains unresolved，but the issue between Chile and Peru has been settled peacefully.
