Abstract: Abstract This chapter, the political dimension, concentrates on the beginning of Michelle Bachelet’s second term in government (Bachelet II, 2014–2018). It explains the background, implications, and perspectives of the presidential and general elections of November and December 2013, the shift between the governments Piñera and Bachelet II, the legal and institutional mechanisms in play, the remnants of the Pinochet dictatorship in the electoral system, and the entry of former student protest leaders in traditional political structures. The chapter concentrates on the program of Bachelet II and on future scenarios presented by the various parties and alliances represented in the political institutions. It also analyzes the impact of the student protest movement on the current and foreseeable sociopolitical scenarios.
