The execution of these Operations seemed to differ from case to case. This study tests three of the mechanisms that could identify the underlying neoliberal strategies of the Operaciones Confraternidad. These mechanisms consist of: legal exceptions, meaning, the suppresion of law in certain territories to achieve specific goals; real estate speculation; and, finally, the Pinochetist geopolitics, which refers to an urban development view that understands the city as a self-regulating organism that grows towards its peripheral areas. Through the object as a means of accounting for the uprooting of the poor, this study will clarify these mechanisms and the similarities that link and communicate ideological objectives, the true objectives behind the eradication of poverty.
