%X the article by mart¨ªnez, silva, and hern¨¢ndez (in this issue) argues that chilean youth have disengaged from participation in conventional socio-political institutions because they believe that the sociopolitical system does not validate the persons, violates their rights, is highly inequitable, and excludes them from having a real voice in public decision-making. this perception clashes with their values of fraternity and a just and dignified development for everyone. this essay examines if these beliefs have a real basis in the structure and logic of the economic and political model they criticize. this issue is analyzed from a political economy perspective, built on the assumption that economic and political structures determine social subjects, their interests, and their relative power. a direct association was found between the logic of chile's political-economic model and the feelings of exclusion that the interviewees expressed.
