Evolution of a Nation after a Dictatorship: How Law, Politics and Society of the 1973 Dictatorship in Uruguay and of the Subsequent Return of Democracy in 1985, Potentially Helped Evolve the Nation of Today.

<p>In 1973, Uruguay’s president authored a coup d’état with the military and changed the history and fabric of Uruguay. Once democracy returned to Uruguay in 1985, it was a chance to see if an evolution of the law, politics and society would occur. This thesis aims to analyze and understand the patterns of change and de-evolution or evolution that happened during the dictatorship and then over the last 30 years. I break down the process of changes that happened legally and politically, how the dictatorship and its leaders used law to destroy rule of law, and how society changed.</p> <p>This thesis assesses the multiple historical aspects and points of view of what happened during the dictatorship, and what happened from 1985 until today. Finally, I presents an alternate approach to the potential evolution that Uruguay underwent by looking at the correlation of dictatorship and memory.</p>
