Summary
The chapter explores the attenuation of Hispanic technocracy as an ideology amid a combination of national crises and a global wave of democratic transitions. It addresses how the Hispanic technocrats sought to thwart their country’s democratization processes (Spain); to preside over them, thereby producing a democracy in name only (Chile); or to influence a new military regime to reuse their ideological formulas (Argentina). As such, the chapter dispels any existing historiography that credits the book’s protagonists with intentionally or inadvertently advancing their country’s democratization.
