This thesis explores the reasons why particular neo-liberal labour laws took a long time to be implemented in Chile. It also considers the manner in which particular neo-liberal labour laws were implemented. The period under analysis is 1973 until 1982, the duration of the authoritarian government of Army General Augusto Pinochet. The thesis examines the three main actors with an interest in labour legislation. These include labour, business and the polity. The thesis also explores the contribution of Douglass North's New Institutional Economics (NIE) in addressing the above problems.
