    Frustration and Resentment in Politics: An Application to the Chilean Case
    (2024) Aroca, Patricio; Fierro, Pedro; Sánchez Barría, Felipe Andrés
    This study introduces an innovative approach for conceptualising and measuringfrustration and resentment in political contexts. Utilising the classic Gamson’sHypothesis, frustration is defined as the gap between internal and external politicaleZicacy, measured through structural equation modelling. By distinguishing betweenflow and stock variables, individual-level frustration is quantified, and then it is groupedand aggregated over time to characterise resentment. A pseudo-panel design isemployed to examine the temporal dynamics of these political attitudes. Applying thismethodology to the political climate in Chile from 2017 to 2022, a timeframe marked bysignificant political crisis and social upheaval, the findings indicate a notableprevalence of resentment, especially among younger individuals with highersocioeconomic status. This challenges the notion that political resentment ispredominantly associated with material deprivation. Furthermore, the analysis reveals asignificant correlation between political interest, ideology, and these emotional states.

    (2023) Araos, Rafael; Smith, Rachel M.; Styczynski, Ashley; Sánchez Barría, Felipe Andrés; Acevedo, Johanna; Maureira, Lea; Paredes, Catalina; Gonzalez, Maite; Rivas, Lina; Spencer-Sandino, Maria; Peters, Anne; Khan, Ayesha; Sepulveda, Dino; Rojas Wettig, Loreto; Rioseco, Maria Luisa; Usedo, Pedro; Rojas Soto, Pamela; Huidobro, Laura Andrea; Ferreccio Readi, Catterina; Park, Benjamin J.; Undurraga Fourcade, Eduardo Andrés; D'Agata, Erika M. C.; Jara Vallejos, Alejandro Antonio; Munita, Jose M.
    We report a high colonization burden resulting from antimicrobial-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in hospitals and a community in Chile. Strikingly, 29% (95% confidence interval, 24-34) of community-dwelling adults carried extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales, highlighting the magnitude of the community reservoir of antimicrobial resistance., Background Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat, heavily impacting low- and middle-income countries. This study estimated antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative bacteria (GNB) fecal colonization prevalence in hospitalized and community-dwelling adults in Chile before the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Methods From December 2018 to May 2019, we enrolled hospitalized adults in 4 public hospitals and community dwellers from central Chile, who provided fecal specimens and epidemiological information. Samples were plated onto MacConkey agar with ciprofloxacin or ceftazidime added. All recovered morphotypes were identified and characterized according to the following phenotypes: fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQR), extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant (ESCR), carbapenem-resistant (CR), or multidrug-resistant (MDR; as per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria) GNB. Categories were not mutually exclusive. Results A total of 775 hospitalized adults and 357 community dwellers were enrolled. Among hospitalized subjects, the prevalence of colonization with FQR, ESCR, CR, or MDR-GNB was 46.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 42.9-50.0), 41.2% (95% CI, 37.7-44.6), 14.5% (95% CI, 12.0-16.9), and 26.3% (95% CI, 23.2-29.4). In the community, the prevalence of FQR, ESCR, CR, and MDR-GNB colonization was 39.5% (95% CI, 34.4-44.6), 28.9% (95% CI, 24.2-33.6), 5.6% (95% CI, 3.2-8.0), and 4.8% (95% CI, 2.6-7.0), respectively. Conclusions A high burden of antimicrobial-resistant GNB colonization was observed in this sample of hospitalized and community-dwelling adults, suggesting that the community is a relevant source of antibiotic resistance. Efforts are needed to understand the relatedness between resistant strains circulating in the community and hospitals.

    It's All About Timing: Temporal Dynamics in the Protest–Repression Nexus in Pinochet's Chile, 1982–1989
    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2022) Sánchez Barría, Felipe Andrés; Leitz, Lisa
    How does state repression influence levels of mobilization in authoritarian regimes? This study argues that the relationship between repression and protest is temporally dynamic. Specifically, the short- and long-term effects of autocrats' coercive actions differ conditionally on each phase of the contentious cycle. This argument is tested taking advantage of an original database of protest events in Pinochet's Chile between 1982 and 1989. Using an Interrupted Time Series design, the results show that the State of Siege declarations issued in 1984 and again in 1986 had divergent short- and long-term influence. When the cycle was on an expansive stage, the State of Siege shows no immediate influence on the protests, followed by an increase in long-term mobilization. However, when the mobilization was declining, the State of Siege was associated with an immediate and prominent drop in mobilization, followed by a progressive decrease in the number of protests over the long term. This chapter contributes to the literature on the protest–repression nexus by providing new evidence on the dynamics shaping the relationship between state repression and civil disobedience in authoritarian regimes.
