Resumen
La Fundación Ford tuvo una relación importante con Chile en el contexto de la Guerra Fría Global. La fundación llegó a Chile a fines de la década de 1950, motivada por la radicalización de los conflictos en toda América Latina. A principios de la década de 1960, la fundación se articuló con la geopolítica de la Alianza para el Progreso en las Américas e hizo de Chile uno de sus países preferidos para asignar fondos. En 1970, cuando la Unidad Popular llegó al poder, la Fundación Ford fue coherente en su visión democrática, mantuvo su acuerdo de modernización entre la Universidad de Chile y la Universidad de California, e incluso financió algunos proyectos gubernamentales. En este sentido, la posición de la Fundación Ford fue diferente de la adoptada por el Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos, que canceló todos los subsidios para Chile y continuó financiando solo al ejército, el principal agente en el golpe de 1973. Con la caída del gobierno democrático en Chile, la Fundación Ford se posicionó contra el nuevo régimen autoritario, redujo abruptamente muchos de sus proyectos, incluido el acuerdo entre la Universidad de Chile y la Universidad de California, cerró su oficina en Chile y comenzó un programa de derechos humanos con el objetivo de apoyar a los científicos y estudiantes perseguidos por el gobierno.
The Ford Foundation had an important relationship with Chile in the context of the Global Cold War. The foundation arrived in Chile at the end of the 1950s, motivated by the radicalization of conflicts throughout Latin America. In the early 1960s, the foundation articulated with the Alliance for Progress’s geopolitics in the Americas and made Chile one of its preferred countries to allocate funds. In 1970, which brought the Popular Unity coalition to power, the Ford Foundation was consistent in its democratic vision, maintained its modernization agreement between the University of Chile and the University of California, and even financed some government projects. In this sense, the Ford Foundation’s position differed from that of the US Department of State’s, which canceled all subsidies for Chile and continued funding only the army, the principal agent in the 1973 coup. With the fall of the democratic government in Chile, the Ford Foundation positioned itself against the new authoritarian regime, abruptly reduced many of its projects, including the agreement between the University of Chile and the University of California , closed its office in Chile, and started a human rights program with the goal of supporting scientists and students who were persecuted by the government.
