Researcher Natalia Miranda Torres has been selected for the 2025 Fondecyt Postdoctoral Grant with a project that analyzes the impact and trajectory of the No Más AFP movement in Chile following the 2019 social uprising.

This research aims to identify and understand the factors that have contributed to the impact of the No Más AFP movement in Chile's political and social arena post-2019.

Study methodology

To achieve this, the research will:
✔ Analyze the types of alliances the No Más AFP movement formed with different social actors.
✔ Examine the conflicts and tensions that emerged within these alliances and how they were managed.
✔ Explore how these alliances have influenced collective action at the territorial level and what effects they may have in the future.

The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining:
✔ Quantitative analysis of secondary data from the Observatorio del Conflicto Social (COES) to assess the diversity of actors and demands within the movement.
✔ Qualitative analysis through interviews and focus groups with activists in the Central macro-zone (Greater Santiago) and the Southern macro-zone (Concepción, Temuco, and Valdivia).

Relevance and Contribution of the Study

This project seeks to provide an in-depth understanding of the challenges of coordination within social movements in Chile, their ability to influence political debate, and the impact of their coalitions. Additionally, it introduces the analytical framework of convergent activism, offering practical tools to strengthen the organization of future social movements.
