Evaluate the economic and social policies of one military dictatorship between 1945 and 1980.

Candidates will make an appraisal of one military dictatorship by weighing up the strengths and limitations of its economic and social policies during the given period. Popular examples will be Chile and Argentina but allow any other relevant case study. Economic issues that may be addressed include the extent of state economic intervention, policies imposed to control inflation (for example, through wage and price controls), programmes to promote the development of national industries (for example, through import substitution) and policies aimed to limit or promote exports and imports. Social issues to be evaluated may include control of trade unions, policies towards indigenous peoples, along with censorship and control of the media and educational institutions. Other social effects may include the social impact of economic policies such as increases in poverty along with forced emigrations and repression of human rights.
