We can, therefore, still subject to further scrutiny the multifaceted mobilization and transformation of knowledge and ideas involved in Chile's economic and social transformation. Although each of the approaches cited above has greatly enhanced our knowledge of Chile's road to neoliberalism, we cannot adequately explain the power and relative influence of neoliberal intellectual entrepreneurship in Chile through theories that elevate "technocracy" (economic professionalism), "domestic institutions" (the military dictatorship), or "interest groups" (power elite networking) to center stage without considering the transnational evolution of Chilean neoliberalism.
