Introduction; 1. The institutional construction and the judicial role in Chile; 3. Legitimizing authoritarianism, 1973 to 1990; 5. Conclusions and implications; Appendixes. Specifically, the institutional structure and ideology of the Chilean judiciary, grounded in the ideal of judicial apoliticism, furnished judges with professional understandings and incentives that left them unequipped and disinclined to take stands in defense of liberal democratic principles, before, during, and after the authoritarian interlude.
