Description
Résumé:This paper analyzes how in the Cold War, the prospective, linked to strategic planning, was an important key instrument in the design of the National Project of the Chilean dictatorship, as well as in the political and economic reorganization imposed by the regime. That methodology, advocated by civilian and military technocrats, served to provide a scientific framework to the re-founding project of the regime. In Latin America, prospective studies were linked to the principles of the National Security Doctrine, allowed to anticipate possible future scenarios, develop public policies and plan the urban development of the city of Santiago for 2000. In that sense, Herman Kahn, one of the leaders of the predictive method, was summoned by the Chilean military regime and guided Augusto Pinochet’s advisors on economic development to consolidate the bases of the “National Reconstruction.”
