Kellogg Professor

Research Interests

Valenzuela's publications have focused on the origins and development of electoral processes, on labor movements and politics, on oppositions under authoritarian regimes, on democratic transitions and consolidation, on political parties, on problems and theories of development, and on comparative methodology. Broadly read and cited, his work relies frequently on careful examinations of the Chilean case, placing it in a comparative context drawn usually from cases in Western Europe and the Americas. Valenzuela's most recent publications (2006) pertain to three different areas of inquiry. The first is the relationship between transitions to democracy and the legacy of human rights violations—or what has been called transitional justice. While the Nüremberg trials have furnished the basic paradigm to examine this matter, Valenzuela suggests by reviewing the Chilean experience that the “Santiago model” provides a better basis to grasp the complexity of transitional justice as well as to devise policies to deal with it. The second area relates to the intersection between economic development, public policy, and family structures. By comparing Chile and Sweden since the dawn of the twentieth century, Valenzuela shows not only that family characteristics are molded by the design of welfare institutions, but that their combined impact constitutes a “missing link” in the study of social and economic modernization. The third line of inquiry returns to a classic question in Political Sociology. Drawing on a survey Valenzuela wrote with a colleague, he and his co-authors show in a prize winning paper that unlike recent claims to the contrary, long standing religious and class cleavages still inform the political alignments of the Chilean population.

Why is writing essays so hard?

Patterns and boring topics imposed by schools and universities are not very conducive to creativity and human development. Such essays are very difficult to write, because many are not interested in this and do not see the meaning of the text. There are a number of criteria that make it impossible to write essays:

• Boring and incomprehensible topics. Many topics could be more interesting, but teachers formulate them in a way that makes you want to yawn.
• Templates. 90% do not know how to make an essay interesting, how to turn this detailed answer to a question into a living story.
• Fear of not living up to expectations. It seems to many that the essay is stupid and that they simply did not understand the question. There is a fear of getting a bad mark and disappointing the professor, parents and classmates. There is a fear of looking stupid and embarrassing in front of the team.
• Lack of experience. People don't know what and how to write about. In order to make a good essay, you need to have a perfect understanding of the topic and have the skills of a writer.

That is why the company EssaysWriting provides its services. We remove the responsibility for the result from the clients and do everything to ensure that the scientific work is recognized.
