Abstract

Abstract The Constitutional Convention in Chile, like other constitution-making mechanisms in democracies, carried out its work within the democratic institutional framework. In a democracy, the success of a constitution-making process depends not only on internal factors, such as its capacity for representation and the procedural rules by which it is governed, but also on external factors such as participation, the government’s role and other contingent factors. When the process – including both internal and external factors – fails to produce adherence to the new constitution, institutional resistance to changes is very likely to occur. This article argues that the manner in which the political and social spectrum was represented in the Chilean Convention, combined with the way participation was implemented and the rules governing the Convention, insulated it from society and the rest of the democratic institutions. As a result, party and public adherence to the proposal made by the Convention was low and its contents generated institutional resistance from outside.
制度阻力:以2021-22年智利公约为例
智利制宪会议与其他民主国家的制宪机制一样,是在民主体制框架内开展工作的。在一个民主国家,制宪过程的成功不仅取决于内部因素,如其代表能力和管理它的程序规则,还取决于外部因素,如参与、政府的作用和其他偶然因素。当这一进程- -包括内部和外部因素- -未能产生对新宪法的遵守时,很可能会出现对变革的制度性抵制。本文认为,《智利公约》代表各种政治和社会派别的方式,加上实施参与的方式和管理《公约》的规则,使它与社会和其他民主机构隔绝开来。结果,党和公众对《公约》所提建议的遵守程度很低,其内容引起了来自外部的体制阻力。
